    Default I have apricots on the brain

    I am even dreaming about them.

    Yesterday I even tried to make a game out of it - I counted them when I was cleaning them - ready to make jam.
    600 apricots went through my hands yesterday - do you have any idea how many that it is - A LOT!!!!!

    We have been emptying the tree in stages since otherwise we couldn't put them anythere. Yesterday was the second stage and today will be the third and final one. We emptied the tree yesterday and the crate is even more full than the other two times.

    I am now making jam, jam and more jam.
    I have to say though - it is the MOST delicious jam that I have ever tasted. I am making a lot of it half sweet and it is SOOO del that I had to stop myself just eating it with a spoon.

    So if you miss me today, I will be sorting through apricots and making jam!!!!
    (I wish that you all lived nearby then I could give you some of them.)

    I love apricots. The ones we have here in the stores this year aren't that good and they are 3.99 a pound so I haven't gotten very many and the canned ones just don't taste the same. Eat some for me.
