Grandma's Orange-Apricot Freezer Jam

If you have an apricot tree like we do, you know how precious the apricots were this summer. It has been years since an ill-timed freeze or hailstorm didn't destroy the blossoms or crop. And, if you have an apricot tree like we do, you also probably had way more apricots than you knew what to do with.

Here is my grandmother's recipe for apricot jam. It's not your ordinary apricot jam; I made some of that, too, but also wanted to switch things up a bit.

Orange-Apricot Freezer Jam

5 cups ground apricots

2 cups crushed pineapple

7 cups sugar

2 small packages orange gelatin

Boil fruit and sugar together for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add the gelatin. Cool, then put in containers and freeze.
