  1. This is just wonderful. I have now made it 3 times! My husband and friends love it! Thank you so much for this easy to follow recipe. Delicious!!!!! Anita
     
  2. Very good... even with some not quite ripe apricots that had a bit of a tart flavor. I cut the sugar by 1/3... and it was plenty. Next time I'll try using 1/2 the sugar. I'm excited to use this and give it to some friends.
     
  3. I had such a abundance of apricots I elected to make a large batch & cook this on the stovetop. The result is outstanding! The cloves add a nice hint of flavor without being overpowering. It took around an hour for my large batch to cook down & thicken. I froze in small plastic containers. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
     
  4. I never made jam before so this recipe stuck out since it would be made in the mircowave making it all the better! This was easy to put together and easier to make. Love this recipe. Had it on some scones today and later with muffins. Great recipe!
