Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups pitted and diced fresh apricots (10-12 apricots, depending on size)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2-4 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Add the diced apricots, water, and maple syrup or your sweetener of choice to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a soft boil, stirring often.
- Lower the heat and simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apricots should start falling apart almost immediately. If yours aren’t as ripe, this might take longer. You can help it along using the back of a fork to smush them.
- Take the mixture off the heat and stir in lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and chia seeds.
- Allow the mixture to sit and cool for 5 minutes, and stir again.
- Transfer the jam to a glass jar or a container. Let it cool to room temperature, then close it with a lid, and store it in the fridge.
