  Lemon slices
  Apricot nectar

Recipe Instructions

Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturer's instructions.

Treat fruit to prevent darkening. Combine lemon slices and apricot nectar in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and keep hot until needed. Drain and rinse apricots. Cook apricots in water one layer at a time until hot throughout.

Pack hot fruit into hot jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Carefully ladle hot apricot nectar over fruit, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Add one lemon slice to each jar. Remove air bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met -- fingertip tight.

Process 20 minutes in a boiling-water canner. At elevations higher than 1,000 feet, boil 2 additional minutes for each additional 1,000 feet elevation.
