Apricots Honey, Thyme & Chamomile | In Jennie's Kitchen

Apricots in Honey, Vanilla & Lemon Thyme Syrup

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 3 pint jars

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 160 grams honey
  • 1/2 cup 100 grams sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 chamomile tea bag
  • 1 vanilla bean split in half & seeds scraped
  • Handful of lemon thyme
  • 3 quarts apricots firm but ripe, halved & pits discarded

Instructions
 

  • Add the honey, sugar, water, tea bag, vanilla bean, and half the lemon thyme to a small pot. Bring to a boil. Let cook until sugar is completely dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, divide the apricots and remaining lemon thyme between 3 pint-sized glass canning jars. Make sure they're packed in tightly. It'll feel like there's not enough room—don't worry.
  • Evenly pour the honey syrup over the apricots. Seal the jars, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Let jars cool before labeling, and storing in a cool spot in the kitchen or basement.
