Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pit ripe apricots and cook without water, breaking them to a pulp.
  2. After about 30 minutes, sieve out skins and filaments.
  3. Return to the heat with 800 g sugar per kilogram of sieved fruit and stir to preserve consistency (a drop runs slowly on a plate).
  4. Pot hot; when cold, cover with oiled paper and seal with tied paper. Peaches are done the same way.
