Konrad___far_north(3..just outside of Edmonton)Updated Thank you so much Linda! It's just because I grow my own and in previous years too many potatoes got spoiled, my storage isn't the greatest. Hopefully by next year I have a root cellar.

readinglady(z8 OR)Updated I can't imagine why not. I can't see anything in liquid pectin that would degrade that quickly. Of course, we all know the infallibility of commercial pectin is an illusion. Carol

lpinkmountain(5b/6a border PA)Updated Sounds all good to me. Of course with more cooking there will be more sugar caramelization and more flavor and texture change for the apricots, but probably not so much as to ruin them.
