Homemade apricot jam
- 1 kg pitted apricots
- 500 g granulated sugar
- 1 bag Gelírka Liana
- 1 KL Citric acid Liana
- Cut the washed apricots in half, pit them and cut them into small pieces. We put them in a pot and cover them with a small amount of water so that they soften faster and release the juice.
- Bring the fruit to a boil, stirring constantly. Take 2 tablespoons from 500 g of sugar, mix with Želírka Liana and add to the softened apricots. We always add jelly before sugar.
- Pour in the remaining sugar and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- To enhance the flavor and color before the end of cooking, add Liana citric acid. If we want to be sure that the jam is thick enough, take a piece on a plate and put it in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Mix the finished jam with an immersion blender.
- Pour the still hot jam into jars. Close and turn upside down until cool.
You don't have to worry that if you add Želírka, your jam will no longer be homemade. On the contrary, the jam will retain the distinctive flavor of the fruit and valuable substances, because it is not cooked for an unnecessarily long time, and at the same time, our Želírka Liana contains pectin from fruits such as apples and citrus, and these will cause the jam to thicken faster without endless mixing. Similarly, we will prepare jam from other types of fruit. Citric acid also serves as a preservative, but it also enhances the color of the fruit. Sorbic acid is also contained in Želírka, so it is not necessary to add it additionally, but it is supplied in case the lid is not perfectly closed, so that your homemade preserves are not really spoiled by mold.
