ESSIE'S JAM FOR ALL SEASONS 
1 lb. dried apricots
4 c. water
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, packed in juice, undrained
3 1/2 c. sugar

In a large pot, soak apricots in water overnight. The next day, heat to boiling. Add undrained pineapple and sugar. Simmer 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until jam has thickened. Spoon jams into clean jars and refrigerate. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.
