Best I can help.
Edmonds Apricot Jam using fresh apricots is 2.7kg apricots to same amount of sugar.
Dried apricots is 1kg apricots to 2.7kg sugar.

If its any help, there are approx 22 apricot halves in 100 grams of dried apricots. You wouldn't mind sharing your recipe would you as I'd like to give making apricot jam a try.

Apricot Orange & Almond Jam
Dried apricots,1lb:2ozs almonds:3 oranges:2 lemons 2.5lbs sugar:2.5tsps cinammon. I am using fresh Apricots so do not need to soak overnight. If using dried then soak chopped apricots overnight with zest and juice of orange making liquid up to 3 pints(it doesnt mention zesting lemon so I am presuming that will be to make jam set and am going to leaved adding the juice to the very end if it doesn;t set. Next day place in pan bring to boil add sugar and simmer till soft and jam like, I am going to add add almonds close to the end as it does not say when too add.
good luck. I am making next week cheers Wineo
