What's that you're eating?

Apricots and peaches (mostly white vs yellow) are in season along with cherries and strawberries. Just picked 20# of apricots and 3# of yellow peaches. Setting aside a couple #'s of the apricots along w/the peaches just for eating. :)

Wife’s on-call tonight. Requested cold chicken quarters and potato salad for dinner.

Two russet potatoes, four eggs, celery, carrot and carrot top greens, sweet onion, green onion, red bell pepper, cocktail dills, sweet pickle relish, mustard, mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze, garlic-dill juice, curry powder, dill weed, parsley, cayenne pepper, hot smoked paprika, garlic salt, Johnny’s salt, salt & black pepper. Always different but that’s what went in today.
 
The apricot canning is all done.

Only had 17# (not 20#) of apricots, which is still a lot. Apricots don't keep long so had to take care of them ASAP. Canned 12# resulting in 10 pint jars plus a tiny bit extra. Froze 3 1/2# of apricot halves (for eating or further canning) & kept 1 1/2# just for eating.

I use all of my jams (regardless of the type of fruit) for toast or as a topping on yogurt or ice cream. I now have apricot, peach & cherry jam aplenty in the pantry.

sgt1372 sgt1372 you've officially inspired me to plant a couple of apricots this fall! I lost my 3 citrus trees to a freeze last year and I’ve been debating on what to go back with.

Not sure how long it takes for apricot trees to begin to fruit but, once they are established, 3 trees will provide you with A LOT apricots.
