Is there a substitute for apricot jam?
Good substitutes for apricot jam is apple jam, strawberry, fig or raspberry jams. If the apricot flavor is not important to give the pudding or cake that apricot flavor. But the fruit jams can replace the stickiness and sweetness needed for your recipes.
Why is my pudding soggy?
