- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp calcium water
- 1 tbsp Pomona's Universal Pectin powder
Prepare
- Dice 1/4 cup shallot
- 2 pint mixed cherry tomatoes, hulled
- 1 lb apricots, halved and pitted
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Prepare the calcium water: In a small bowl or jar with a lid, combine 1/2 teaspoon calcium powder and 1/2 cup water. Shake well to dissolve. Store in the refrigerator and shake before using; this makes enough for several batches.
-
Step 2.
Sterilize your jars, prepare bands and lids, and have all canning tools ready.
-
Step 3.
In a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1/4 cup diced shallot and sauté until translucent but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Add 2 pints hulled cherry tomatoes to the pan and sauté until they start to break down, about 6 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Add 1 pound halved and pitted apricots to the pan and simmer over medium heat until the tomatoes and apricots begin to incorporate, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 6.
Stir in 2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon calcium water, and 1 tablespoon Pomona's Universal Pectin powder. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the jam reaches 220°F on a candy thermometer, 25 to 35 minutes.
-
Step 7.
Strain the jam through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl, pressing with a spatula to remove seeds.
-
Step 8.
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, place lids on top, and screw on bands finger-tight.
-
Step 9.
Process the jars in a water-bath canner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Store in the refrigerator or pantry for up to 1 year.
