User reviews:
Thanx for the apricot jam recipe. it is one of my favorite jams and i am always looking for the best go to recipe for it.
I have following questions regarding this recipe:
1) For how long do we cook the jam?
2) In the past when i made apricot jam, it developed
mild caramelize flavour at the end of the cooking. I feel this reduces the intense flavour of the fruit. I cooked the fruit and sugar till 104 C on candy thermometer. What could i be doing wrong? Or how can i avoid the caramelization flavour of the sugar?
