Note: When it comes to apricots, be sure to choose fresh, well-ripened types without cracks.
The jars containing apricots should be cleaned and sterilized, preferably glass jars.
Since apricots are generally sour, those who like sweetness can add more white sugar or rock sugar as appropriate.
After cooking, the canned apricots can be stored in the refrigerator when they are cool. However, since homemade canned apricots do not have preservatives, the shelf life will not be long, so it is recommended to consume them as soon as possible.
Warm reminder: Homemade apricot jam is not inferior to fresh apricots in terms of taste and nutrition. It tastes better relatively speaking. It may be worse than commercially available apricot jam, but it is also healthier.
Eating canned apricots is a healthy and nutritious way to eat them. You can also make apricots into preserved fruits or squeeze them into juice. However, juicing will cause the apricots to lose a lot of nutrients, so it is not recommended to juice them frequently.
