Homemade Apricot Jam with 3 Ingredients

The only ingredients you’ll need for this delicious apricot jam are apricots, sugar, and water. Whip a large batch of this jam to enjoy for days – or months if you store it in your freezer.

Homemade jam, a cup of tea, and a piece of homemade bread: these delicious treats remind me of my childhood. We would make fresh fruit jams at home, and have little pint jars lining the shelves in the pantry. In the evening after dinner, we love to sit at the table and enjoy this homemade apricot jam recipe.

Apricot jam is hands down one of my favorite jams of all time. It is light, sweet, and irresistibly delicious. We make it from simple ingredients. Fresh apricots and the perfect amount of sugar make for the best topping on English muffins, toast, or yogurt with granola.

Stone fruits truly do make the best jams! A great recipe is one that uses the freshest fruits. You can combine apricots with sugar and enjoy straight from the jar.

Where and when can we find apricots?

I definitely do not have an apricot tree in my yard, but I know for sure that apricots can be found from June to August. They’re the perfect summer fruit, and apricot season means it’s also the season for many more fruits.

You can find this ripe fruit in any grocery store. I suggest that you buy juicy apricots at a local farmer’s market, and if not, the grocery store that will definitely carry organic fruits.

While you’re at it, you might as well pick some blueberries or strawberries for a blueberry jam, or a homemade strawberry jam! I can’t think of a more perfect way to enjoy fresh fruits.

Want to add flavor to your sauces? Add apricot jam. Increase the flavor profile of your steak, chicken, or other meats by adding this jam into the pan.
This 3-ingredient apricot jam is a must-have. There are just so many things you can do with it. But the best part? It all comes together easily – all in one pot!

Key Ingredients

Apricots, naturally! Dried apricots will not be your friend here, so pick up some fresh ones.

Sugar sweetens this recipe up. (You’ll need about 1 lb, or 2.25 cups of sugar. For a sweeter jam, you can add more to taste.) A good jam is one that meets your taste standards!

Water will be needed to cook the apricots and sugar in.

Jars, because where else will you store the jam? You can use mason jars if you like. Don’t forget to give them a hot water bath to wash them.
