Wash the apricots, pat dry, and remove the stones. Dice them and place them in a non-stick saucepan. Split two vanilla pods lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife. Stir them into the diced apricots, then add the vanilla pods as well. Squeeze the lemon, mix the juice and two-thirds of the sugar with the apricots, and let it steep, covered, for 1.5 hours. Add the bitter almond flavoring and Amaretto and bring to a boil while stirring. Fish out the vanilla pods and puree the mixture. Mix the remaining sugar with the 3 sachets of Opekta (gelling agent) in a bowl and stir into the apricot mixture. Bring to a boil as directed on the gelling agent packaging, test for settling, and pour the jam into sterile twist-off jars.
