Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups water
4 cups prepared fruit (buy about 1/4 lb. dried apricots and 1 medium fully ripe pineapple)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
6-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine
1 pouch CERTO Fruit Pectin

Steps:

  • Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
  • Add 2 cups water to apricots in bowl or saucepan. Cover and let stand 4 hours or overnight. Drain, reserving liquid. Grind or finely chop apricots; mix with reserved liquid. Pare, core and finely chop pineapple. Add to apricots; mix well. Measure exactly 4 cups of the prepared fruit mixture into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Stir sugar into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
  • Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
