The jam turned out delicious. I´ll hide it.

It always happens like that when there´s a little of it. I decided to hide it and eat it alone. I already gave some apricots to Dixie and Tania and Claudia is not much interested. I will make yogurt later and ask for some food....

Claudia is coming for coffee and then I´ll start my apricot brandy.

Yesterday, my neighor´s gardener helped me take out the apricots that were higher. This year, for some reason, the apricots are very small. I think that it was lack of rain. So I´ll make a jar of apricot brandy to take to the...

I was trying to make room for the cooked hen in the deep freeze when I found some frozen apricots from last year´s bounty. I decided to turn them into jam and there they are, cooking with sugar. The house smells delicious and I...

I was about to eat my dinner when the phone started to call. It happens all the time. I´m either in the bathroom or in the kitchen and the phone or the bell will ring. It was my aunt. She was inviting me for...

And the sweet aroma comes from the kitchen.

I spent half of the morning today washing, halving and measuring apricots for the jam. After lunch I took a nap while the apricots and the sugar juiced up. Now that there is not so much sun, I am watering what Claudia and Vicent...

Tomorrow I will be cooking for Claudia and her family. They will fix the garden as much as they can and I will roast a chicken. Claudia also told me that she´d bring something to go with it, but I already made some rice. So on...

And so does Luna´s. I have her in the front of the garden (a place she does not like because it is not her territory) but She was ill from eating too many apricots. She is well now, but jailed, so as to say. And I am making...

We gathered this morning´s apricots.

marguicha @marguicha (230349) • Chile 11 Dec 18

I pushed Luna to the front of the garden (she is not used to it so she did not want to go) and we gathered all the apricots we could with Leticia. We moved the branches so the ripe apricots that were on top would fall so I have...

I will start my first apricot jam in a few minutes.

My friends came home and Hugo offered to bend to the ground to get the fallen apricots. I use some of the fallen ones, even if I have to cut part of them as they are the ones that are fully ripe and sweeter. Now I´ll let the...

I stole some jam.

marguicha @marguicha (230349) • Chile 9 Dec 16

I said to myself, how am I to know if it is done if I don´t try it? So I picked a small dish and placed there some still bubbling hot jam. I left it to cool down while I mylotted and then ate it. It was delicious, but not yet...

My Christmas starts looking at my apricot tree.

marguicha @marguicha (230349) • Chile 2 Dec 16

I have told many times that I give away apricot jam for Christmas. This year I will have very small apricots, yet a lot of them. There were no winds or rain when the tree was in bloom so there are too many apricots in the tree....

Last year I had the apricot tree pruned. I read everywhere that apricot trees should not be pruned. But I could not reach the upper branches and my friends are getting old too. So I said, que sera, sera. And this year the amount...

Who Knew I Liked Apricot Jam?

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 19 Mar 16

Z, our youngest son, brought home 3 small jars of jam from Vienna, Austria when he came back from Spring Break. One of them is apricot jam. He had to twist my arm to get me to try it. I never thought I'd like apricot...
