| I over-boiled my apricot jam, and it's super thick! Now I'm looking for suggestions on use... How would you use it in non-meat dishes (I don't like sweet meats)? Thanks for sharing! |

| Baking - cookies like "Thumbprint cookies" or apricot bars, muffins, cupcakes, layer cake filling instead of the frosting, turnovers, heat it up for ice cream toppings maybe. Dave PS: apricot glazed baked or grilled pork chops are pretty hard to beat. :-) |

| I did that one time...I opened all the jars and dumped it back in the pot and cooked it to a semi-hard candy stage. Rolled it up in parchment paper, and had delicious hard candies. Mine was plum jam. That was part of the batch. The rest of the batch, I spread in the dehydrator like fruit roll-ups and when dry enough, I cut and rolled in parchment paper like tootsie rolls., |

| WHen i have done this i have done one of two things. 1. put about half a cup of water or full cup depending on the size of your batch, bring it to a simmer and re-jar... voila.. regular consistency jame. 2. I have used the thick version as a fruit paste to go with cheese, absolutely sublime. |

| I think it would work for these - my neighbor made them for her husband for decades, his favorite. (and I don't like fruit/meat combinations either ;) Not even pineapple on a pizza, or my sis's killer raisin sauce for ham, We had guests from Croatia a few years ago and they wanted to cook a special dinner, one seldom affordable given the price of beef for them. Roasted beef and plums. I smiled hard, said thank you so much, and ate) California Gold Bars 1 c. brown sugar, packed |

| We aren't fans of sweet/meat combos either with only a couple of exceptions (ham, sweet BBQ sauce on ribs). I would use it for: Apricot Bars - I've got a great recipe...let me know if you need it. You can use up to 2 cups per batch (9 x13 pan). Deanna |

| A pass along recipe from my Mum: 1/2 pint double (thick) cream Whip the cream. You can sub some of the cream with a small carton of low fat yoghurt. You might need to thin your jam with hot water if it's too thick to fold in. |
