Hello Abbey, you can never have enough Apricot jam its my favorite jam I love it with Skippy. Your very kind.
Hello! I made up a plain batch as well. It is such a treat, I don’t make it often so I’m very happy to have it on the shelf. Thank you for watching!
I lovethe diversity in recipes that add such depth to your pantry. Great video
Thank you very much Jim!
I love apricots and will definitely try the apricot rosemary jam. It looks delicious. Other than jam, I typically just freeze sliced apricot and use it in my homemade yogurt or smoothies. Also will use it in place of peaches for sweet tea. Yum! Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great weekend!
I did end up freezing some as well. Look forward to having those for smoothies! Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy your weekend as well!
i have some dried apricots, i think i will try the bar b que sauce with them. i'll let you know how it turns out.
Please do!
Cutting those habanero peppers I thought 😮 dear Lord be careful! 😂
🤣🤣
You are so brave not wearing gloves 👀😂 I learned the hard way to wear gloves every time
Haha not the smartest. I always say I should but never do 😬
Just curious if you’ve ever worked with Pomona’s Pectin?
Yes :) I use it for berry jams, I just made a batch of strawberry with it. I typically don’t use pectin for any jams/preserves I make with stone fruits
