Apricot, Orange And Almond Jam

In response to two excuses why people do not evangelize: A Christian who has heard biblical preaching, participated in Bible studies, and has read the Scriptures and Christian literature for any time at all should have at least enough understanding of the basic message of Christianity to share it with someone else. Surely if we have understood the gospel well enough ourselves to be converted, we should know it well enough (even if as yet we know nothing else about the faith) to tell someone else how to be converted… Do we really want to say that we are too busy to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to make disciples of unbelievers (Matthew 28:19-20)? Do we expect that at the Judgment Jesus will excuse us from the single most important responsibility He gave to us because we say, “I didn’t have time”?

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Dried apricots
2	oz	Split almonds
3		Oranges
2		Lemons
2 1/2	lb	Sugar
2 1/2	t	Ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the apricots roughly.  Put them into a large bowl, sprinkling  the
fine grated zest of the oranges and the cinnamon between layers.
Squeeze the juice of the oranges, measure and add enough water to  make
3 pints in all. Pour the liquids over the fruit; leave to soak
overnight in a cool place.  Slide the contents of the bowl into a
preserving pan and simmer gently  until the fruit is beautifully
tender. Check the fruit occasionally  as it cooks and crush it down
into the pan with a potato masher. It  may need 1 1/4    hours to
become really soft.  Warm the sugar.  Add it to the pan together with
the juice of the  lemons and the almonds.  Cook gently until sugar is
melted, then  fast-boil until the saucer test shows that the preserve
will set.  Pot, tie down and label the preserve in the usual way.  From
