Ball Recipe for Low-Sugar Apricot Jam

This recipe makes 2 8 oz jars.  I multiplied the recipe to accommodate 10 8 oz jars.  Do not multiply beyond ten jars or jam will not set as well.

*1 1/3 cup pitted and chopped apricots

*1/3 cup water

*3 tsp lemon juice

*1/ tsp butter

*1 1/2 TBSP Ball brand low-sugar/no-sugar pectin

*up to 1/2 cups sugar

In a large stock pot, combine fruit, juices and butter.  Gradually add pectin.  Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring frequently.  Add sugar and stir well.  Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently.  Boil for one full minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  Ladle into jars and process as above.

For 12 8oz jars, I 6x the recipe which equals out to be:

*8 cup pitted and chopped apricots

*2 cup water

*6 Tablespoons lemon juice

*2 TBSP butter

*9 TBSP Ball brand low-sugar/no-sugar pectin

*up to 3 cups sugar

just blend a little, it's better to have some chunks
