Apricot Season

So I have been wanting to can this year and I havent done it since i was a kid. So my friend Jess
and I got some apricots together and my mom helped me can them and make apricot/pineapple jam.. YUM!

We did it while Dad and Adam went to the Apple store.

My mom helped me get all set up with the pots and stuff that i would need.


With the remaining I am going to make fruit leather. I'll let you know how it comes out.:) ps thanks so much mom!

I love canning...we just did some cherries.
WE don't really get too many apricots up this way. I miss them. I usually have to buy them from the farmer's market.
Lucky you to live where they grow so great.

I'm so proud of you! I HATE canning, but I do it to keep up the "art" of it. It is lost ya know. Way to go!

Hey Lis, just maybe throw one of those in a care package..oh with some great harvest bread..that would be great!

If you haven't made them already add a little sugar or something to sweeten them. Ours turned out a little bitter, but still delicious!

The berry apricot jam is my favorite!

Hey Lisa! Are enjoying your Apricots in all their various forms??! I hope so! We freezed our peaches and made fruit leather and then when the Apricots were ready, I was too tired to worry about them... too bad.

Hope you're doing good and hope your little bambino is growing nicely! :)

Hey - you've been tagged!!
