Apricot Jam with Almond Flakes
In winter, it is especially pleasant to enjoy the taste of summer by opening a jar of homemade jam! I am sharing a simple and very delicious recipe for jam. Instead of almond flakes, walnuts or whole almonds can be used as an addition. I prefer to store the preserve in the refrigerator, although storage at room temperature is also acceptable.
