A Fruitful Year!
It's been a fruitful year! This amazing feat requires some magical combination of weather, timing, pollination, and possibly prayer. I've seen apricots all over town and also pears, apples, plums, and cherries. I'm hoping to gather some apples for sauce soon. The kitchen is in high gear in years like this.
The apricots were a bonanza and their beautiful goldenness showed up in many of our kitchen productions. Here's what I made:
- Apricot jam (eight pints)
- Apricot fruit leather
- Apricot pie
- Apricot ratafia
- Apricot baklava
- Dried apricots
- Apricot crisp
- Kale and sugar snap peas with apricots
Carpe apricot!!
