As many (many!) times that I've made jam, apricot pineapple is still and always my favorite of them all. The flavors are bright and wonderful with a delightful, buttery-ness that seems to bind it all together in a taste of sheer bliss. Not to mention the beautiful "jar of summer" color. Yes, I am quite smitten. I haven't made it for years as I haven't found a box of fresh apricots worthy of purchase. Maybe frozen apricots are the route to go. Thanks so much for sharing and reminding me that it's time to restock my larder with this gem!!
