I was out yesterday with a dear friend, "running amok" as she calls it,
AKA shopping.
On the way home we stopped at Sprouts to look at the cherries they
advertised. The cherries didn't look very good--small, not sweet, so we
bypassed them.
On the way out of the store I saw apricots on sale ($1.88/lb which is a
bargain here believe it or not!)
The result is 10 half pints of apricot jam. All sealed except one which
is back in the kettle for a second try.
Our apricot trees are beginning to leaf out but we don't expect any
fruit due to a major snowstorm followed by three days below freezing
last month when the buds were ready to pop. Husband actually thought
the older tree was dead after the drought last summer but it appears to
be limping along. Our neighborhood is noted for its large, old trees,
and many of them are suffering badly from the lack of rain and snow in
the past 12 months. Mother Nature is NOT happy with her children.

up with preserves. Great job on that. Sure the finished product will be
worth the manuel labor.

It really isn't that much work once you get into the rhythm of the
project. The last year we had a big crop of apricots on our trees I
made over 80 jars of jam in addition to all the fruit we ate and gave away.
That sounds like a lot of jam but once your friends, neighbors, and
family taste it you don't have any problem giving it away. People
practically beg for more.

Ten bucks a half pint sounds like a fair price to me. I also have a big

weakness for apricot pies..cobblers..fried pies are especially nice in
that flavor. I had an apricot tree and it got big making a nice tree but
I guess the boers got it since it up and died. About the only way to
grow fruit around here is to hit it early and often with nasty old
pesticides.

Isn't sending you jam like taking coals to Newcastle?
