Servings: 3

 

Ingredients:

*8 ounces dried apricots (you could chop them, but I didn't because I enjoy chunky textured jams; I used Enduring Sun dried apricots)

*2 tablespoons lemon juice (I used fresh, from an organic lemon)

*1/2 cup organic sugar (I used Madhava Organic Coconut Sugar)

*1 dried Thai red chile pepper, chopped fine- optional

*seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (or use 1-2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract)

*3 cups filtered water

Equipment:

plastic wrap

bowl

stove

pot

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Place apricots in a medium bowl and pour the water over them. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight. 2. Drain and reserve the apricots' soaking water. 3. Place the apricots in a pot on the stove with 1 cup of the soaking water and the lemon juice (I suggest using the rest of the "apricot nectar" as a mix-in for still or bubbly water- it's delicious). Add the sugar, the vanilla bean seeds, and the chile pepper and bring to a boil.4. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the jam has thickened: 30-40 minutes.5. Taste the jam: you can add a bit more sweetener if you like; note that it may taste very spicy right now, but don't worry- the chile flavor will mellow out with time. Spoon into glass jars and store in the refrigerator, where the jam will last for at least a few weeks.

Food Joke

A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man comes into the store, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing the length of her skirt and the location of the raisin bread - on the very top shelf - he politely says to the young woman, "I'd like some raisin bread, please." She climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread, providing the young man with an excellent view, just as he surmised she would. When she comes down the ladder, he says he really should get two loaves as he is having company for dinner. As the clerk retrieves the second loaf of bread, one of the other male customers notices what is going on. Thinking quickly, he orders a loaf of raisin bread so he can continue to enjoy the view. With each trip up the ladder, the young lady seems to catch the eye of another male customer. Pretty soon, each male customer is asking for raisin bread just to watch the young woman climb up and down. After many trips, she is tired, irritated and thinking she is really going to have to try the raisin bread herself. Once again she is up the ladder retrieving a loaf of raisin bread for another male customer. She stops and fumes, glaring at the men below. She notices an elderly man standing among the crowd of males looking up at her who hasn't placed an order yet. Thinking to save herself another trip up and down the ladder, she yells at the elderly man, "Is yours raisin, too?" "No," croaked the old man, "but it's a quiverin'..."
