Cut the pitted apricots and the cleaned strawberries into small pieces and place in a high saucepan.
Cut the vanilla pod sideways, scrape out the pulp and add. Add the empty vanilla pod as well. Mix with the preserving sugar, let steep for 30 minutes.
Remove the pod, puree the mixture and add the pod back.
Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. If the jelly test is OK, remove the vanilla pod with a clean fork and pour the jam into clean jars while piping hot and close the lids immediately.
