  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Mix apricots and lemon juice in a large pot over medium heat; add sugar and slowly bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  3. 3 Continue to cook and stir until apricot mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and skim foam off the top if necessary.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, prepare five 1-pint jars with lids and rings by cleaning and sterilizing them in the dishwasher or a boiling water bath. Leave lids in simmering water until ready to seal jars.
  5. 5 Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space on top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles.
  6. 6 Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  7. 7 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder, leaving a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  8. 8 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place them onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight and the lid does not move up or down at all. Store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine loquats and sugar in a nonreactive saucepan. Let sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until loquats macerate and release their juices, about 3 hours.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, inspect two 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water. Place a couple of small plates in the freezer.
  3. 3 Bring loquats-sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. 4 Blend fully or partially with an immersion blender, depending on how chunky you prefer your jam to be. Return to the stove and bring to a boil. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat.
  5. 5 Test to make sure jam is set by dropping a small amount of jam onto a frozen plate. Push with your finger; jam is ready when it wrinkles. If it's still runny, bring back to a boil, reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes more, then test again.
  6. 6 Ladle hot jam into the sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw rings on tightly. Allow to cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator.
