When we were young mothers, I asked my best friend if she had a recipe for an easy ambrosia salad that I could take to a cookout later that evening. She shared this recipe with me and it's become a must-have at every barbecue I attend. It's sublime with peaches and peach gelatin, too. -Melissa Meinke, Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania

Time 1h50m

Yield 144

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ½ cups dried apricots
4 ½ cups boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
7 cups white sugar
¼ cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Soak apricots in boiling water in a bowl until hydrated, about 30 minutes. Blend apricots, remaining water, and vanilla extract in a food processor, working in batches, until blended but still slightly chunky.
  • Combine apricot mixture with pectin in a large pot over medium heat; cook until just boiling. Add sugar and lemon juice; boil until sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the apricot jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4-inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • 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. Leave 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 10 minutes.
  • Remove jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 1 hour. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

APRICOT JELLO MOLD



Apricot Jello Mold image

This is the ONE! I finally found the Jello Mold for which I have spent so much time searching. This was in the Farimount Temple Cookbook from 1964 and my sister in law finally found it for me. In those days we didn't have apricot jello so we used the orange, today we don't have to do that anymore.
