2-1/2 cups prepared fruit (buy about 1-3/4 lb. fully ripe apricots)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
5-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
3/4 cup water

Steps:

RINSE clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.
PIT and finely chop unpeeled apricots. Measure exactly 2-1/2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Add lemon juice. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.
MIX water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring 1 min. Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min. or until sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
FILL all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator before using.
