Here's the recipe. I used fresh habaneros for the hot peppers. Other
people like it. I think it tastes too vinegary:

Apricot Red Pepper Jam

1 pkg (6 oz) dried apricots, chopped
3/4 C chopped red bell pepper
1/4 C chopped fresh hot red peppers
2 1/2 C cider vinegar
1 1/2 C water
1 box (1 3/4 to 2 oz) powdered pectin
6 C sugar

Chop the apricots and peppers with 1 3/4 cups vinegar in a blender or
food processor until finely ground. Add to 8-10 qt. pan and rinse
blender with the water and remaining vinegar (3/4 C).
Stir in pectin, bring to a full boil while stirring. Add sugar and
return to boil, still stirring. Boil for 1 minute (2 minutes with 2 oz
box of pectin). Remove from heat and skim off foam. Ladle hot jelly
into hot sterile half-pint jars, leaving 1/2” head space. Wipe jar rims
and threads, top with hot lids and screw down bands firmly. Process in
boiling water bath for 5 minutes. [or don't sterilize the jars, and boil
of 10 minutes]
