I think apricot jam would be one of the main things you have to do for winter - the aroma, color and texture are incomparable to others, plus the abundance of raw materials.

It goes perfectly as a jam for any food you like, or you use it for syruping and decorating cakes, cakes, ice cream - see below in steps.
