Cover the bottom of a pot with water; throw in sliced apricots; sprinkle over sugar; cook, stirring once in a while, on low-medium heat, until fruit has melted; taste and add more sugar if too tart; fill clean glass jars with sunshine; keep in fridge and eat with yogurt, ice cream, on toast, sprinkle with granola, make into an apricot crumble or apricot bars. Or give to a friend.

today, one year ago: my 10 words
Yummy!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm! I always say that apricots are one of the very few fruits that are better cooked (unless you're in a warm country with a tree growing in your garden that is!) Gorgeous post & recipe xox
ReplyDeleteoh yes please. sounds simple enough that maybe i could manage it! :)
ReplyDeleteSunshine, pure sunshine. And the second tree I planted at out new home? An apricot of course.
ReplyDeleteI love them quick frozen and dried too.
Love you,
S (I'm supposed to be writing right now, but it looks like hookey to me)
those look like beautiful gems! I would love some with yogurt right about now!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just wanted to say that today is the first time I'm viewed your blog (via your comment on A Day In The Country) and I really enjoyed it. I used to live in Europe and have a number of angel babies in heaven (and one three year old baby girl here at home!!). I also love & adore the country life....working to make my own life more "country". So I felt some things in common. Look forward to following your blog!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find apricots at the Farmer's Market today. So, I'm gonna give it a go with the yummy peaches we bought :D Thanks for this post...can't wait to eat this yummy goodness!
