Discover the step-by-step instructions for how to make an excellent apricot jam in about two hours.
The recipe above calls for white sugar but, if you prefer, you can also make an excellent apricot jam with brown sugar. A quick tip: if you do opt for brown sugar use a smaller amount than what is called for in the recipe (for example instead of 330 g, it is enough 300 g). Brown sugar is not only a sweetener but also has a rather intense aroma that must always be regulated with care.
