Although I’m highly suspicious of the calorie count.
Just a little back-of-the-envelope calorie counting: three cups of sliced apricots has 237 calories. Assuming we added nothing else, if each tablespoon had 3 calories, this recipe would need to make 79 Tablespoons of jam. That’s one tablespoon shy of five cups.
Unless you’re David Copperfield, I don’t think you’re going to put 3 cups and 5 tablespoons in a pot, boil it, and pour off 4.9 cups.
