Jam orange peel dried apricots

Of all kinds of homemade preparations, I have the most experience in cooking such food as jam. I know and know how to cook a variety of sweets according to a variety of culinary recipes: from fruits, berries, vegetables and even dried fruits. I consider dried apricot jam to be one of the most unusual, expensive, but very tasty jams. I'll tell you about him now. First we take dried apricots, sort them out, put them in a saucepan and pour cold water. In this state, dried apricots should stand for 15. After that, we wash the dried apricots three or four times with cold water, pour water again and let it stand for about 6 hours. After this time, we take out the dried fruits and cut them into small pieces. The liquid in which the dried apricots were, we filter, pour granulated sugar into it, put it on fire and cook the syrup. After the syrup boils for 5-7 minutes, we introduce the prepared dried apricots into it. After that, we put the zest cut into thin strips into the same saucepan. Cook the mass for about 15 more minutes. After this time, the jam is ready.
