Old-fashioned Apricot Raspberry Jam  

2 pounds prepared apricots
1 ½ cups raspberries
¼ cup water
2 ¼ pounds sugar
Hot sterilized jars and lids

1. Wash the fruit thoroughly.  Cut away any blemishes.  Peel and pit apricots.
2. Crush or chop fruit.
3. Weigh fruit and sugar. 
4. Put fruit and water into a heavy kettle large enough for the mixture to boil up.  Heat to boiling point.
5. Add sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
