Apricot jam is a sweet and tangy spread made primarily from ripe apricots, sugar, and often lemon juice or pectin to enhance flavor and texture. Originating in Middle Eastern and European cuisines, it has become a globally cherished condiment due to its versatility in both savory and sweet dishes. Apricots are a rich source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants, delivering health benefits like improved skin and immune function. However, the jam often contains added sugars, which can increase caloric content and reduce its overall nutritional profile. As a result, moderation is key when enjoying apricot jam. It can be used as a topping for toast, pastries, or cheeses, and even in cooking glazes for meats. For a healthier option, look for low-sugar varieties or homemade recipes that preserve the natural fruit's nutrients while minimizing additives.
