APRICOT JAM / GEM DE CAISE
2
lb sugar
juice of one lemon
For
apricot jam we chose beautiful, untainted and not very ripe
apricot.
This
recipe is good for no more than 2 lb apricot, pitted. For more jars, use
another 2 lb pitted apricot.
MY
NOTE: the recipe require to peel the apricots, but one can cut each half, in half, Instead of peel them, which is very laborious work..
Wash
and discard the apricot pits and weighed 2 lb pitted apricot.
In the saucepan that you are going to make jam next day, put together, in the evening, these apricot with 2 lb of sugar. Cover the pot with a fresh towel and leave it on the counter, over night.

The
next day, bring the apricots to boil and stir with a clean, wood
spoon from time to time, until it start bubbling.
From that moment cook another 15 minutes, mixing from time to time.
From that moment cook another 15 minutes, mixing from time to time.
After
15 minutes, bring the pan aside and add the juice of one lemon. Stir
continuously until cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Pour
into jars and cover with plastic wrap immediately. Leave jars until
next morning,on the counter, wrapped in cloth.
Good
appetite!
MY
NOTE: As long as you do not open the jars, it can stay for years, in a
closet. If you open the jar, better store in the refrigerator,
because it was very little cooked and can be molded easily to the surface.
GEM DE CAISE
1,5 kg caise (ca sa avem suficient pentru 1kg caise fara samburi)
1kg zahar
suc de la o lamaie
Pentru gem se flosesc caise frumoase, nepatate si care nu sunt foarte
coapte.
Aceasta
reteta este buna pentru 1 kg caise, curatate si nu mai mult. Pentru
mai multe
borcane
se fierbe alt kg de caise.
NOTA
MEA: reteta cere sa se curata caisele, dar se poate sa taiem fiecare
jumatate in doua, in loc sa le cojim, o munca foarte migaloasa!
Se
spala si se curata de samburi si se cantaresc 1kg caise care se pun
de cu seara impreuna cu un kg de zahar, in cratita care se va fiebe a
doua zi gemul.
A
doua zi se pun caisele la fiert si se amesteca cu o lingura curata,
de lemn, din cind in cind, pana incepe sa clocoteasca. Se lasa pe foc
inca 15 minute, amestecind din cind in cind.
Dupa
15 minute, se da cratita la o parte si se adauga sucul de la o
lamaie. Se amesteca continuu pana se raceste putin, 10 minute.
Se
toarna in borcane imediat si se acopera cu celofan. Se lasa pana a
doua zi, pe masa, acoperite in prosop.
A
doua zi celofanul o sa fie scobit frumos, inauntru.
Pofta
buna!
NOTA
MEA: Atata vreme cit nu se deschide borcanul poate sa stea chiar ani
de zile, intr-un dulap. Daca se deschde celofanul si se consuma gemul
e mai bine sa fie pastrat la frigider, pentru ca a fost foarte putin
fiert si poate usor sa mucegaiasca, la suprafata.
