30 minThis vibrant conserve brings together dried apricots and sliced crystallized ginger with fresh orange and lemon juice plus their grated zest.
Everything simmers slowly in water and sugar, stirring frequently, until the fruit breaks down and the mixture takes on a thick, jam-like consistency.
Chopped nuts go in during the last 5 minutes for crunch.
Spoon it over toast, scones, or cream cheese for a condiment with serious personality.
Pro Tips
- Stir frequently to prevent sticking and scorching on the bottom
- The conserve will thicken slightly as it cools, so don’t overcook
- Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to a month
