I'm sure it would be fine frozen.  I opened one jar and used half.  The rest of the jar lasted for over 4 months in the fridge and was still fine!  This realy surprised me, I guess it is a little like a jam.

Should fit in - but will go above the 2 litre waterline.  Should be OK with a basket over the opening - but maybe best to go for

720 g apricots
810 g water
360 g sugar

Unless that 800 g appricots includes the stones?  so under 800g once stoned.  If you get my drift

Now you have me thinking Nay Nay:)  I haven't made this since last summer...just waiting for apricots to come back in season.  I know I tend to fill things up a bit and clean up the mess later:)

I wrote the recipe down as I made it, but Thermomixers adjustments sound good.  I will note any changes I make when apricots come back in season.

Instead of apricot, I try peach.  Only have 450gr, so have to do some math.  I reduce cooking time a bit.  Will update with the result.

Ooh now I think it would be nice with any fruit that is a bit soggy. Thanks Denzelmum.
