Homemade Apricot Jam
What do you need for your breakfast? Are you a cereal lover or do you like some bread with some yummy jam? If you are the second type, this blog post is for you!
We love bread or buns with jam or nutella on the weekends! During the week we sometimes go without some breakfast and sometimes it will be a yoghurt, oatmeal or a chia pudding. But on the weekends, jam is so necessary for a good and big breakfast!
We always had selfmade jam at home and therefore it is just normal to us to make our own jam. There are two types that are not allowed to miss in our fridge: strawberry and apricot! For Marie, apricot is one of the best jams there is, it is just the right mix between sweet and sour!
Homemade jam tastes just so much better than some jam from the store and one of the best benefits is that you know what is in your jam and that is really not much! Fruit and sugar, basically!
If you have never tried it yourself, you should really give it a try! It doesn’t take long and you will be so happy when you eat some bread with your own jam – it is the perfect way to start in the day!!!
Now is just the right time, as you still can find apricots on the farmer markets or in the supermarket. Grap some the next time you are at the market and then you are halfway there 🙂 Look at the recipe and you know we are telling the truth!
The trick that you need to keep in mind is if you don’t eat all the jam at ones, place the still sealed glases in the freezer. This will help you keep the jam as colorful as it is in the beginning.
Homemade Apricot Jam
Ingredients
- 1000 g apricots
- 500 g preserving sugar (Gelierzucker 2:1)
Instructions
- Wash the apricots and cut them in half or quaters. Remove the kernels.
- Place them in a pot and add the preserving sugar. Mix it together.
- Now heat it up until it boils and stir it the whole time.
- As soon as it boils set a time for 4 minutes and reduce the heat a bit.
- Keep stirring. When the time is over, test if the texture gets sticky (geliert).
- If you like your jam smooth, blend it now.
- Now it’s time to fill the jam in the glasses. Close them with the lid and turn them upside down.
- Let it cool down and then enjoy the jam. If you want to store it and you would like that the color stays as orange, store them in the freezer.

Seafood Salad
SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER – do you feel this way too? We had some super hot day last week and starting tomorrow there are more to come! For us this just screams summer!
What have you guys planned for your summer? Are you going on vacation and if so, out of the country? Or are you bring the vacation and holiday feeling home? We think if it as warm and nice as at the moment, vacation at home totally works. With this recipe you can bring a little bit of Italy home on your plate, especially when it is warm and you don’t want to eat everything and this is a great option.
We prefer cold dishes like salads and light food options in the summer! One of them is this AMAZING SEAFOOD SALAD!!! It is so much easier then we thought and soooooo tasty! The only difficult part is to gut the seafood but with the help of some videos, you will be able to do it too! And it is so worth it! I think I never had such a good Insalata di Mare.

Seafood Salad
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 10 scampi
- 3 calamari
- 6 sepia
- 1 lemon
- olive oil
- white balsamico vinegar
- white pepper
- salt
- fresh parsley
- 6 leaves salad
Instructions
- Rinse your seafood with warm water.
- Clean and gut the calamari and the sepia and don't forget to peel the scampi. If you like scallpos, you could add some as well to the salad.
- Cut the seafood in the wanted sizes.
- Now cook the seafood for only 1 minute in boiling salt water. If you leave them too long in the water, especially the calamari will get to hard.
- Rinse the water off and set the seafood aside.
- Now squeeze all the juice out of the lemon and mix it with at least 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, white pepper and 2 tablespoons of white vingar.
- Cut some fresh parsley and add it to the sauce.
- Poor the sauce now over the seafood and mix it very well, so that the sauce will touch every little spot.
- The seafood is probably still a little warm.If you like it this way, garnish now the seafood salad on some leaves of green salad. If you you prefer it cold, set the seafood salad in the fridge for a while and garnish it then later.
- Now enjoy! It will taste amazing!
