Apricot Amaretto Jam
This Apricot Amaretto Jam is another recipe which was inspired by my travels in Bella Italia! Amaretto is an almond flavored liqueur which comes from a small city in Italy called Saronno. The word amaretto is Italian for “a little bitter” which is strange because the Amaretto drink has a distinct sweetness to it!
Almondy Amaretto pairs really well with apricots and that’s why I use it in this jam. It’s really quick and easy to make. Simply mix the fruit and lemon juice together with some sugar and pectin which is used to thicken the jam. Add the sugar and once you remove the pot from the heat, add the amaretto. You will need to use a canner to ensure the jam is preserved.

Recipe Reviews
Just made a batch using apricots I got from Costco. Used 1/2 cup Amaretto. Haven’t canned it yet, but from tasting the excess, it’s really good. I’ve made this before without using pectin and it’s always runny. This batch has thickened nicely. I’ll use this recipe from now on.
Yummy-yummy!
