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.

@marguicha are fresh ones similar to fresh peaches?

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

That sounds good. We don't have apricots here so I don't know its taste

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

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

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

@kobesbuddy I love raspberries but they are very expensive here.

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