apricot jam

Orange-hued breakfast preserves

Apricot jam is a sweet preserve made from apricots cooked with sugar until thickened.

It has a distinctive tangy-sweet flavor and golden-orange color.

Beyond spreading on toast, it's commonly used in baking—brushed on pastries as a glaze or used to fill cakes and cookies: She heated the apricot jam before brushing it over the tart.
