Homemade Jam

Now I know why my in laws always buy crates and crates of fruits , mostly very very ripe kind of apples, apricots etc, it is cheaper and they turn them into jam. Super yummy!

My FIL is very happy to see me snoop around and take photos, also very proud to tell me how he made them. Basically they go Carrefour and there is a section where boxes of over ripe fruits can be bought for 2 euros, they will buy those very ripe soft apricots and also pineapples. He said must use copper pot and spoon. 

The copper pot is very big! Initially I thought it was a vintage baby bath ( with the French one never knows...) . Copper will not cause the fruits to stick to the pot . Put in all the fruits, add sugar and stir them over very very very small fire for over 9 hours! I see them do it on Saturday, they will just let the pot there and on and off stir it. I was reluctant to try as I am not a jam kind of person but honestly.. very very delicious!
