Apricot Confiture
Apricot confiture — a versatile sweet preserve for winter! Apricot confiture is a European-style apricot preserve that's caught on here too. It's like ordinary jam, but instead of pieces of fruit floating in the jar, it's a denser, smoother, thicker spread. It's pretty simple to make, with just a couple of ingredients. Serve apricot confiture with tea as a treat on its own, or use it as a filling for all kinds of sweet bakes.

- Gather your ingredients — you use equal amounts of fruit and sugar. The flavor of the confiture depends on the variety and condition of the apricots: use ones that are well ripened, juicy, and sweet, so they release plenty of pectin to thicken it. Rinse the apricots thoroughly in cold water — carefully, so you don't bruise their delicate skins — then dry them on a towel. Halve the apricots, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into small pieces. Put the cut apricots in an enamel pot and cover them completely with sugar. Cover and leave at room temperature overnight. By morning, the apricots will have released their juice and the sugar will be nearly dissolved. Stir with a wooden spatula and set the pot over the heat. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat to a minimum, and cook the confiture for 30 minutes, stirring now and then and skimming off any foam. When the apricot pieces are soft and break apart under the spatula, turn off the heat. You can also test it another way: drop a bit of confiture from a spoon onto a dry plate — if it holds and doesn't spread, it's done. Spoon it into small jars you've sterilized ahead. Seal right away and leave the jars to cool in a warm spot. Once cooled, store the confiture somewhere cool. Then, on some fine winter day, all that's left is to open a jar of fragrant, tender, sweet apricot confiture and serve it. Enjoy!
