The small golden apricot is packed with antioxidants and other health-promoting compounds. This fruit-sweetened jam — with only four ingredients and no refined sugar — pairs nicely with cornbread, but it is also delicious when used any way you would normally use jam. Since it is not preserved with refined sugar like most commercially prepared jams and jellies, it is best to store it in small containers in your freezer. Then bring it out when you want a treat!
