Habanero Apricot Jam

• 3-1/2 pounds fresh apricots
• 6 tablespoons bottled lemon juice
• 2 to 4 habanero peppers, seeded
• 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
• 7 cups sugar

1. Pit and chop apricots; place in a Dutch oven. Stir in lemon juice. Place habaneros in a blender; add a small amount of apricot mixture. Cover and process until smooth. Return to the pan.
2. Stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
4. For best results, let processed jam stand at room temperature for 2 weeks to set up.
