Wash 1 kg of fresh apricots thoroughly with water 2-3 times and remove the pits.

Chop the apricots roughly.

In a pot, combine the chopped apricots and 1 cup of water (300 ml).

Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apricots are soft.

Check the softness of the apricots with a fork.

Blend the soft apricots in a blender without waiting for them to cool.

Return the blended apricot pulp to the pot.

Add a small piece of cinnamon and 2 cups of sugar (400 grams) to the pot.

Cook the mixture for about 30 minutes.

After 15-20 minutes, remove the foam that forms on top with a spoon.

Add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to enhance the flavor and shine of the jam.

Check the consistency of the jam by placing a spoonful on a cold plate and letting it sit for 2-3 minutes.

If the jam holds its shape when you run your finger through it, it's ready.

Transfer the jam to any plastic or glass jar for storage.
