Apricots

Published on Aug 11, 2011

Currently we are up to our eyeballs in apricots...

The poor tree limbs are just hanging onto the ground with all the weight...

Kiddos and I picked a big bowl today (more like I picked a bowlful while the kiddos argued about who was going to use the step ladder and ended up picking 8... but that's life currently... man I hope this arguing phase passes quickly).

Walker helped pit them...

And I ended up making 2 kinds of apricot jam today... a plain apricot jam and then a pineapple apricot jam...

Will pick more tomorrow... and make a sweet and sour sauce, and apricot syrup. Hope to get a batch on the dehydrator as well... and then I'll be calling everyone I know to come pick apricots and take them home!!
