Thanks Alan for that, like the recipe as no water or lemon juice, just sugar and apricots....Also like the idea of prepering then having a long rest before the cooking as the thought of jam making in this heat doesn't appeal. Never turned jars upside down before either but it all makes perfect sense.

Apricots are high in pectin so the jam should set just fine without jam sugar. I do add a bit of lemon juice, though. Also, if you put thye kernels in it adds to the pectin content - you can put them in a muslin bag.

Ummmmmm Waitrose...
Submitted by Dylano on Fri, 07/09/2010 - 11:02Followed Alan H's 'Waitrose' recipe and can thoroughly recommend. Best to stick to small quantity (1KG apricots) tried making twice the amount first time, ( being greedy) and ended up overcooking it a bit as was obsessed with getting the setting point just so (make alot of excellent runny jam), and stuck to ordinary sugar as recipe said. 2nd attempt just perfect......
