Steps to make Apricot and Orange Blossom Jam

1	Sugar apricots	8h
In a large bowl, mix the apricots and the sugar to coat all over and then cover and leave to stand overnight. Place a saucer in the freezer to freeze.
2	Begin cooking apricots	5
Over a medium heat, pour the syrup apricots into a large preserving pan with lemon juice and wait for the remaining sugar bits to dissolve.
3	Boil apricots	15
Turn up the flame to a high heat and boil for 15 minutes.
4	Set jam	5
Remove the jam from the heat and place a spoonful of jam on the frozen saucer. Once jam has cooled, lightly press your finger into the jam, if it wrinkles then your jam is set. If no wrinkles form, boil again for a further 2-3 minutes and then test again. Repeat until wrinkles form.
5	Add orange blossom and butter	2
Skim the surface of the jam and stir in the orange blossom water and butter, if using. (This helps to remove any remaining residue).
6	Serve	15
Allow the jam to stand for 15 minutes before spooning portions into the jam jars. (This ensures the fruit doesn’t separate).
7	Refrigerate
Jam jars refrigerate for up to 6 weeks.
