Apricot Jam
Sweet, tangy, and lightly floral.
Lens analyzedApricot jam is crushed or chopped apricots cooked down with sugar until they set into a spreadable preserve, keeping the fruit's tang alongside its sweetness. It's used on toast, swirled into pastries, or brushed on as a glaze for tarts and roasted meats.
Where it comes from
Apricots trace back to Central Asia, and cooking the short-season fruit down with sugar became a way to keep its flavor on hand well past harvest, a technique that spread with the fruit into European and eventually North American kitchens.
Buying it
Check that real fruit is listed near the top of the ingredients rather than corn syrup or filler, and look for jars sold on flavor rather than just a low price.
Storing it
Keep the sealed jar in the pantry; once opened, refrigerate it and use a clean spoon each time to keep it from spoiling early.
Keeps about 1 year in the pantry.
