Add more water if needed (1 or 2 dl), soaked apricots and sea buckthorn berries, cook until the carrots are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Puree. Add the jam sugar. Boil 10 minutes with stirring. Pour into clean jars or cool and freeze.

Sea buckthorn

Sea buckthorn is a small tree, common at the coastal areas of Europe and parts of Asia, specially at the sea shore but it´s also cultivated in the gardens:

Little berries are quite tart and juicy. We usually make juice or jam about them because they are quite unpleasant to eat raw. They include a lot of vitamin C. One hundred grams of sea buckthorn has the same amount of vitamin C as 10 to 20 oranges.

If you can´t find sea buckthorn berries, cloudberry is a good alternative or then just use more apricots (like 300 g total).
