Apricots for FREE!


What is it about free stuff that just makes you go overboard? Picking apricots was so much fun we just couldn't bring ourselves to stop. There was always the chance that the next tree had just the perfectly ripe fruit. Then there was the next tree that had fruit so low to the ground that you couldn't pass it up. What did we do with all the fruit you ask? (Besides eat it and throw it at each other)

apricot jam (cooked and freezer)
apricot syrup
apricot crisp (I just found Smitten Kitchen, it's fabulous!)
apricot in my oatmeal
chocolate covered apricots

All yummy. You just can't beat the flavor of produce picked RIPE!
