Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Fruit
Wash and chop the fruit into small pieces. If using larger fruits, like apricots, remove pits and chop them.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a large pot, combine the chopped fruit, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. If using pectin, add it now as well.
- 3
Cook the Mixture
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the fruit releases its juices, about 10-15 minutes.
- 4
Boil and Thicken
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for about 10-20 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- 5
Check for Doneness
To check if the recel is ready, place a spoonful on a cold plate and let it sit for a minute. Run your finger through it; if it holds its shape, it's done.
- 6
Jar and Store
Pour the hot recel into sterilized jars, seal them, and let them cool completely before storing in the fridge or pantry.
