Steps:
- 1. In a food processor, process the apricots until very finely chopped. (I use my pulse feature). Transfer to slow cooker. Stir in sugar and water.
- 2. Cover and cook on high setting 2 1/2 hours, stirring twice, if possible. Uncover and cook on high, stirring occasionally, 2 hours longer, or until the jam has thickened.
- 3. Ladle the jam into clean, hot canning or jam jars; seal according to the manufacturer's instructions with lids and ring bands. Process in a boiling water bath 10 - 15 minutes. Or let jam cool and store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks. For longer storage, freeze up to 3 months. I have frozen this, and works very well. Using my food saver.
- 4. For Apricot - Orange Jam: Stir in 1 Tbsp grated orange zest at the end of the cooking time..
