I am from Holland and live in Argentina right now. I love cooking and have learned how to make this typical Argentinean Apricot Jam. This is the land of the apricots, peaches, plums and grapes. At home, we make this quite often and serve it on pancakes or ... simply on a toast! The orange or lemon rind gives a more citric smell to the apricots. Try it, you will not get disappointed! I promise!
