Andy’s favourite jam

When Andy stayed with Aunty Audrey one summer she had this apricot jam on toast every morning for breakfast.

I don’t know where Aunty Audrey got the recipe from; it seems to me to read like a very old recipe so maybe it even came from grandma, but it really does make delicious jam!

• 2 lbs dried apricots
• 6 lbs sugar
• 6 pints water
• 2 oz almonds

1. Pour the boiling water over the fruit and leave for 24 hours
2. boil for 1 hour, leave for 24 hours
3. add sugar and boil for 30 mins
4. add almonds
5. bottle in the usual way to make 12 lbs of delicious jam
