What says comfort like a slice of freshly baked bread slathered with butter and homemade jam?
I’ve been experimenting with a few jams this Summer and this one has become a family favorite. The combination of blueberries-apricots-lemons works beautifully and I’m sure you’ll agree that the result is delightfully scrumptious. Simple to make, this recipe doesn’t use pectin, but you can certainly use pectin if you prefer a shorter cooking time.
To make this jam you can use fresh or frozen blueberries and apricots. You can also substitute nectarines or peaches. Stored in the fridge this jam will keep for about a couple of months, frozen it will keep for up to a year, and canned it will keep for at least a year.
Blueberry Lemon Apricot Jam Recipe
Let’s get started!
Wash, pit and dice the apricots and add them to a stock pot along with the blueberries and lemon juice and zest.
Add the sugar.
Bring it to a boil stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered until the temperature reaches 220 F on an instant read thermometer.
Use a spoon to scrape off and discard the foam.
Ladle the hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace from the top.
Secure the jars with lids and process in a water bath for 10 minutes.
I use and recommend the Granite Ware Enamel-on-Steel 9-piece Canning Kit:
Remove the jars and let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours then store them in a dark, cool place. They will keep for at least one year.
Enjoy!

Wonderful flavor! I had to sub nectarines as it’s too late for apricots but boy was this good. I also used sure-jell to speed the process a bit. Thank you for this yummy recipe❤️
Thank you so much, Lowgad, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous jam! I made it with the low sugar sure-jell. Best flavor. I had to sub nectarines for the apricots as I missed their season. Great recipe ❤️
I increased the blueberries to 2 cups and added a sure jell low sugar pectin PKG. To save the one hour of simmering I followed the cooking directions at both steps per the box directions. Your combination is delicious with the lemon zest, apricot and blueberries 🫐 Thank you!
Thank you, KelliSue, I’m happy you enjoyed it and thanks for the info on using the low sugar pectin!
This looks wonderful. I love homemade jams. Great combo of flavors.
Love homemade jams! This one sounds so good!
Two of my favorite fruits combined. I love this and will keep in mind (Pinterest) for next year.
The flavor combination is great! Thanks for sharing. :)
I love all the ingredients that go into this, so I’m sure the jam tastes amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I love making jam, but haven’t started on my canning frenzy that I do every fall yet! Everything just keeps going in the freezer to make jam out of when I have time. Love this combination – I”ll have to try that this year!
Love this fruit flavor combination!
I love canning! This looks like a delicious combo.
Oh Yum! This sounds delicious. I loved my moms apricot jam growing up, this looks like a good grown up version.
I’ve made a fair number of small batches of jam but have never combined fruits like this. I love it!
I have never made my own jam but this looks seriously amazing!
