Yesterday while out shopping I found some jam apricots at the fruit market...very ripe, very soft and perfect for jam making...at $2.99/kilo, even better given that eating apricots were around $9.00/kilo. I used Maggie Beer's recipe from her book Maggie's Harvest...a gorgeous book I refer to regularly to use an ingredient in season.
Here are the fruits (pun fully intended) of my labour...
Am going to head out to the bakery tomorrow morning (or even better, send someone else) for a loaf of sourdough rye and enjoy it on toast for breakfast.
Oh yum...

I second your yum! I have such fond memories of watching my mother and my grandmother make freezer jam growing up - I can't wait to have just enough free time to give it a try!
Apricot jam is my favorite!!!!!!! I'll bet yours is so much better than store bought. sigh. Enjoy!
Oooooooh I am envious! It's the dead of COLD winter here in the states. I'm a jam-making whore suring the WARM summer here. I am on my very last Mason jar of strawberry-rhubarb preserves.
What a beautiful sight to behold - your apricot jam!
Sensational! I am looking after a friends property with fruit dripping from the trees and an invitation to 'pick anything that looks ripe'. Now I have inspiration + recipies! thanks for both:)
Sigh, it is gorgeous, as is the mention of the sourdough rye bread to go along with it....makes me think of summer!
