Apricot Red Currant Jam
Apricot Red Currant Jam combines the sweetness of ripe apricots with the tartness of red currants, creating a deliciously balanced spread. With plenty of pectin and acidity from the red currants, plus sweetness and rich flavor from the apricots, this jam comes together quickly with little more than fruit and sugar.
