2. Put the apricots in a jar with a lid, preferably glass.
3. Proceed to pour the sugar into the jar with the cut apricots.
4. Pour in the lemon juice.
5. It is not necessary for the sugar to cover all the apricots, but it is important that you shake the jar well once all the ingredients are in, so you will get a much tastier and more concentrated apricot jam.
6. Stir everything and leave macerating for 1 day in the refrigerator. You will see that the apricot juice mixes with the sugar.
7. Put all the contents of the pot in a pot and cook the apricot jam over medium heat for 40 minutes or until the desired consistency is achieved.
8. You must keep stirring throughout the process to prevent the jam from sticking to the pot.
9. Tip: if you prefer to make apricot jam without sugar, use stevia and cook the apricots with 100 ml of water.

11. Proceed to put the already ready jam in a jar.
12.  Remember that you must sterilize the jar by placing it in boiling water and introduce the jam immediately after removing it from the heat and while the container is still hot to avoid breaking it. Close the bottle tightly and voila
13. Let cool in a cool place and where direct sunlight does not reach for a longer duration. Once opened, you should store it in the fridge.
14. Now you can use your apricot jam for your breakfasts or snacks!
