Nothing else. I thought maybe because it&#8217;s orange, so I tried Orange Marmalade.<br \/> Nope. Has to be Apricot Jam.<br \/> Apricots are always so expensive and as we no longer have an apricot tree,\u00a0 I came up with this recipe for the Thermomix using dried apricots based on one my Mum made years ago.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s delicious and easy. A recent update to allow for the more available softer and sweeter dried apricots.
