Being temporarily blinded my cooking and typing is being handled by Momma. So this time the apricots called and we were off to Hartland to Spicer’s orchards again. We picked up two pecks of the little beauties, buying Sure Jell, Big Chief sugar, and jars on the way home. I was able to pit the first two batches as Momma canned. Again they came out tasting like the inside of a ‘Paczke’ (a Polish pre-Lenten treats). That made 40 jars of jam leaving enough to experiment with an Apricot Butter recipe which was pretty darn good even forgetting to add the lemon juice.
Next up Raspberries, Plums, Grapes, Blueberries, Elderberries ( from my brother-in-law) and Peaches. ( And Lions, and tigers, and bears Oh My ! Got carried away!)
