- Yield: approx 2½ cups jam
- Category: Spreads
- Method: Raw
- Cuisine: Dessert
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsulphured dried apricots
- ¾ cup maple syrup {or agave, brown rice syrup, etc.}
- 1½ tbsp lemon juice {or a big dash of salt}
Instructions
- Place apricots in a glass bowl. Cover with hot water and let soak for a few hours to soften up {or for a quick version, cover with boiling water and let stand 15 minutes}.
- Strain apricots and place in a blender or small food processor. Add sweetener and lemon juice and blend into a smooth consistency. Taste and add a bit more lemon juice if you like your jam tart.. If your blender is struggling to blend, add a little bit of water {I didn't, but I use a Vitamix, which can handle blending things better}. Enjoy!
