So, how do you make Dried Apricot Jam? Place the apricots in a large pan. Cover with 1.5 liters of water. Place a lid on top and leave to soak overnight. The next day, add the lemon juice to the apricots and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 30 minutes until the apricots are tender and breaking apart.
It’s perfect on a slice of keto bread or in a cake. Cook apricots on a high heat and stir for 10 – 20 minutes or until all the water disappears. After that reduce heat and cook it and stir until your jam is thick enough. Optional addition is to add low carb sweetener of your choice, lemon juice and some grass beef gelatin to make it thicker.
One tablespoon of apricot jam contains 13 grams of carbs and 49 calories. The carb content of dried apricots is much higher per serving (about 29 grams per 5 dried apricot halves), so choose fresh apricots over dried while following the Keto diet.
