1 kg fresh apricots, pitted, and halfed
60 ml (¼ cup) lemon juice
700 g sugar
Pour sugar over apricots in a large pot and let sit overnight.
The next day, on medium heat bring the mixture to a soft boil.
After all the sugar dissolves, reduce heat, stir in the lemon juice, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.
Pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 0.5 cm space at the top, wipe rims, seal, and process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes to preserve.
