APRICOTS IN SYRUP
INGREDIENTS
1 kg apricots
2 lt water
400 g sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon, the juice and the peel
5 cloves
METHOD
Boil the water with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice and peel (without the white part) for 5 minutes.
Let the syrup cool.
In the mean time wash and dry well the apricots without peeling them, remove the stone and cut them in quarters if they are big or leave them divided just in half.
Put the apricots in the jars and cover them completely with the cold, filtered syrup.
Close the jars air tightly and put them in a big pot full of cold water covering the jars.
Make the water boil for 10 minutes and let the jars cool inside.
Let them stand for at least one month before enjoying them.
