It’s finally apricot season! Since the season is pretty short lived, stock up while you can so you can make this jam. Like stat. Because it is so freakin’ good.

This jam could not be simpler to make. Just apricots and honey is all you need. No processed sugars here. Simply cut your apricots in half, discard the seed and place on a baking tray. Drizzle honey on top and place in a low heated oven for one to two hours or until they start to caramelize.

Roasting the apricots helps release the natural sugars in the fruit and the honey helps to amplify the apricot flavor without making them overly sweet like regular sugar would.

Put all of the apricots and juices in a blender and pulse just a few times until you get a chunky puree. You can blend for less or more time depending on how you like the consistency to be. Also, you can leave the apricots whole and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt. This is equally delicious. Either way, I highly recommend roasting your apricots.
