My favorite chunky apricot preserve recipe for a chunky jam with whole pieces of fruit. The main difference between a preserve and a jam is basically that a preserve is a jam with whole pieces of fruit in it. Many people would just call it a chunky jam.
My recipe contains some cinnamon and cardamom. The 2 spices are totally optional so you are welcome to leave them out.
