Turn off the heat and soak the apricots in the sugar water.
After cooling, refrigerate the apricots overnight and serve at any time.

Sweet apricot jam is not only good in color and rich in flavor but also very diverse in how to eat it.
Like many jams, it can be spread on bread, made into ice cream, made into mousse, and can be drunk directly with water as a drink.

First, wash the apricots and break them in half and remove the cores.
2. Add sugar to the apricots, then add water and mix well so that the sugar is all moistened.
3. Then pour it all into a pan and heat it on medium heat.
4. As it heats up, the sugar will slowly melt and the apricots will gradually ooze out more water.
Because the apricots were chosen to be ripe and soft, the apricots will have started to become soft and rotten by this time.
5. Keep heating to bring the apricots to a boil.
Once boiling, continue to simmer over medium heat, stirring slowly to prevent mashing.
6. Continue heating so that the water evaporates and the apricots turn into a sauce as they simmer and then turn off the heat.
