Apricot Jam

Mum used to cook up her apricot jam
In a huge big pot on the stove
Only the ripest apricots were used
A heap of sugar added as well
Even some crushed pineapple
To give it that beautiful lightness
Mums jam was the best I'd ever tasted
The shop bought ones never could compare!

Now mum is getting on in years
She doesn't make jam any more
So I am forced to look elsewhere
To find that yummy stuff
I thank the Lord for other mums
Who still make jam the old-fashioned way!
Found some lovely jars of yummy jam
At the local Red Cross store
Whenever I go there; I look around
To see if there is any apricot jam to be found
Yummy home made apricot jam!
