Not much time for embroidery. It will be Jam time. This is just a small portion of my Apricot tree. Anybody for some good recipes? Dehydrator is already going.

Thank you for the links. First I need to preserve them. This only lasts for about 2 weeks and then they are done. I am sharing with the neighborhood.

you can pick and prepare and freeze them until you have time to do something with it i normaly freeze them in batches of 2 kilos so that you can handle it with ease hope you have time to use your lovely fruit

Your tree looks wonderful! I hope your jam making gives you a lot of pleasure, not only making it, but also seeing the yummy results (I love a nicely filled cupboard) and eventually eating it.

Ooh! Apricot jam is my all time favourite. I buy one from New Zealand and it's amazing! Your tree certainly has prolific fruit. What about Apricot glaze, stewed Apricots, chutney etc. etc. I'm sure you will find lots of things to make. I love the link that Gerry has given you. I just Googled Apricot images and there are some amazing desserts that can be made!!! Love Chris

My Mother made apricot candies from the dried fruits by boiling them down in sugar water quite a long time (sorry, 35 years ago at least) and then rolling in sugar. She kept the finished candies in a tin.

I have never seen an apricot tree. You are so blessed to have one. I do love apricot jam and I guess you could also freeze them. Kay

Apricots yum!
I like to make vanilla apricot jam and then When I have had enough jam making I make stewed apricots and freeze them.

When I lived in Calif. a zillion yrs ago I had a large apricot tree. Loved to see it in bloom and I love apricots. Jam will be fabulous/Lillian

Wrap a dried apricot around a dab of cream cheese and an almond. Delish!

I like them straight off the tree, The rain and the birds took care of the ones we did have on our tree but was able to have a very few, They are expensive in the stores. Enjoy your jam

My husbands all time favorite is apricot pie!! He gets one for his birthday...and then one for Christmas...but then in the winter I have to use the dried apricots. I would just love fresh-off-the-tree apricots. Yummmm! Nothing like the real thing.
