This jam is a perfect balance of sweet and tart. I love the chunks of pineapple and apricot. It's so good on toast, waffles, or even just by the spoonful. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I've never made jam before, but this recipe was so easy to follow that I felt like a pro. The jam turned out beautifully, and my family loved it. We've already gone through two jars and I'm about to make another batch!
