First prepare fruit: Add 2 cups water to the dried apricots, cover and let stand 4 hours or overnight, drain, reserve liquid. Grind apricots or chop fine, mix with liquid, add the crushed pineapple, mix fruit.

Over high heat bring to rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. At once stir in Certo. Skim off foam with metal spoon. Then stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly to prevent floating fruit. Ladle into glasses or containers.

Personal Notes:
This is a recipe from years ago and suggests covering the jam with 1/8 inch hot paraffin. I put my jam in containers and freeze. Also Ball now makes a liquid pectin that I have used when I could not get Certo. I like my jam a little thicker so use 1 1/2 packets Certo when making my jams.
