The apricots are almost ripe. Today Leticia made some juice with the first apricots.
Probably next week I will have enough to make my Christmas jam.
I also have a liter of brandy to make a bottle of apricot brandy. Next week I will be very busy. Besides the cooking, I will have to bake two apricot cakes to take to Claudia´s house for Christmas.
Do you make (cook, sew or knit) present for Christmas? Lately I only cook.

Absolutely! I don´t much like canned apricots either. The skin is thick and the are a bit too bitter. Fresh ones are sweet.

@marguicha My mother only had one tree too but the fruit from that was put to good use.

We love to give jelly away, at Christmas time. This year, it's raspberry jelly. Apricot sounds wonderful!:)

@marguicha We have an over-abundance of raspberries, in August. Some of us make jelly, to keep them from being wasted.

Speaking of making Jams, I just made Lavander Jam and 4 seasons Jam. I just learned the recipes online.

No, I don't cook, sew or knit Christmas presents. Am wondering how an apricot jam tastes.
