I have been so busy this week because if any of you have fruit trees, you know, when they are ready, they are ready. And when they're ready then you have to do something or they will start plopping on the ground making it prime spots for bees and flies. So, we, or I, more like have already made apricot freezer jam, dehydrated apricots for school lunches and have fruit leather in the fridge all ready to cook tonight after I go to bed.
Phew.
This is also an open invitation for anyone to come pick as many apricots as you can shake or pick off that darn tree. :)

Apricot season is in May here in CA. We had tons! We also made freezer jam. I made tons of fruit roll ups. The best is sun dried. It is chewy and yummy!
I wish we could come pick apricots. They are one of my favorite fruits and they just never taste as good in Alaska. -Angela
in answer to your question on my post, it's basically just apricot puree with water and sugar to taste. My recipe, if you can call it that, is 16 cups puree, 8 cups water and 4 cups sugar. You don't need all that sugar, but I like it sweet :) I use a victorio stainer to puree it, that way all I have to do is pit, steam and dump, and I'm done. Easy-peasy :)
YUM! Wish I was there to take some off your hands Ü If you want to dry some and send them our way, I wouldn't complain!
