Step by Step guide
Step 1
Place the apricots in a pot with the cut sides facing up and sprinkle with sugar, continuing this process until all the apricots are in the pot. Cover the pot and leave it overnight to let the fruits release their juice.
Step 2
In the morning, remove the lid (what a miracle! so much juice! and what an aroma! it's a pity that we can't share even a part of this aroma that radiates from the apricots).
Step 3
Put the pot on low heat and bring it to a boil (make sure to keep it on low heat). The apricots have released a lot of juice, so you can gently shake and swirl the pot occasionally to avoid stirring with a spoon and damaging the apricot halves. They will look much better whole than as a homogeneous mass. Once it boils, cover the pot and let it cool for a full day (or a little less, for 12 hours).
Step 4
Again, place the pot with the jam on low heat and bring it to a boil, shaking and swirling the pot from time to time to prevent the jam from burning, and let it cool for a full day (or for 12 hours).
Step 5
Once more, place the pot on low heat and bring the jam to a boil, swirling and shaking the pot, and cook until ready for about 20–30 minutes after boiling on low heat. You can check the readiness of the jam by dropping a cooled drop onto a flat surface — the drop should not spread. I drop it on my nail, but be careful — the jam is hot. If the drop does not spread, the jam is ready, and you should not cook it any longer, otherwise, the jam will darken and become unappetizing, acquiring a burnt sugar smell. Remove any foam that appears with a spoon.
Step 6
Pour the jam into sterilized jars.
