📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare, jars, lids, and water bath canner.
2
Peeling the apricots is optional, but if you want to peel them, you can get it done quickly by flash-cooking the fruit. Submerge in boiling water for 30 to ⏱️ 60 seconds, remove and immediately place in cold or icy water for ⏱️ 20 seconds. Peels should remove easily.
3
Remove the seeds and cut peeled (or unpeeled) fruit into ½ inch thick slices.
4
Bring a few quarts of water to a boil. Blanch the apricots by boiling for one minute and removing with a slotted spoon. Drain and place in a covered bowl or pot to keep warm.
5
In a fresh pot (large enough to hold all ingredients and fruit), combine cold water (or juice), sugar, Clear Jel, spices and/or extract. Stir or whisk to fully incorporate – the Clear Jel must be fully dissolved before moving on to the next step.

6
Once entirely dissolved, set heat to medium-high and stir continuously as the mixture thickens. Wait until bubbling and add lemon juice. Boil for one full minute while stirring constantly.
7
Remove from heat and fold in warm, drained apricots. Ladle into prepared canning jars, leaving 1-inch head space (be sure to de-bubble pie filling as it will be thick).
8
Clean rims of residue, apply 2-part canning lids, and process in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 30 minutes, adjusting time as needed for altitude.
9
After processing time is complete, turn off the water bath canner and allow jars to rest for another ⏱️ 10 minutes to help prevent siphoning. Remove with a jar lifter and place atop a towel.
10
Check seals after 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours. Any unsealed jars should be moved to the refrigerator to be used promptly.
