Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Apricot-Raisin Jam

 

Ingredients

1/2 lb dried apricot halves, coarsely chop, ped
1 cup golden raisins
1 juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
1 cup orange juice
2 cup sugar



 

Preparation

I received a great little book for Christmas called "From My House To
Yours" that has gift recipes, ideas and lots of little tid-bits. The
following recipe is from that book. I'll include the notes the author
wrote and will follow this message with the recipe for English Muffin
Loaf that he makes note of. Sonya

"This is delicious with toasted thin slices of English Muffin Loaf.
Dried apricots sold in bulk are usually more flavorful than the
prepackaged kind; natural food stores are a good source."

1. Place the apricots and raisins in a bowl and add water to cover.
Cover the bowl tightly and let it stand overnight. Drain the liquid
into a large, heavy saucepan and chop the apricots coarsely. Add the
apricots, raisins, lemon juice and rind, and orange juice to the pan,
place over low heat, and bring to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally.

2. Add the sugar and continue cooking, stirring frequently until the
mixture of fruit is very soft and the syrup sheets when dropped from
the side of a spoon (220 degrees on a candy thermometer), 15 to 20
minutes. Spoon the jam into sterilized half-pint jars. Seal the jars,
process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes and cool. Store in a
cool, dark place.
