Fresh apricots are a great ingredient for baked dishes, desserts, compotes and even liqueur. For the winter, it is best to make jam. It is not necessary to use different thickeners, just know the correct proportions.

Food blogger Lily with the nickname lileklilek2 on her Instagram page shared a recipe for thick apricot jam without thickeners, gelatin and pectin.

Ingredients:

• apricots
• sugar
• citric acid + vanilla

The proportion of apricots and sugar is 1:1.

Method of preparation:

1. First prepare the apricots: wash them, remove the pips and cut into 4 pieces.

2. Fill the prepared apricots with sugar and leave in this form for a few hours so that the fruit starts to sap.
