Miche's Apricot Jam

I've been using this recipe since 2006 and I've always had good results. I found it on the internet back then called Miche's apricot jam. It has everything you want in a recipe, it's easy it works and it tastes great. Always sterilize an extra jar because yields vary. enjoy Pete
