Jamming Out

I love Apricots.

I also dearly love my Apricot tree where I gathered these luscious beauties from yesterday.

I also love making jam, specifically stone fruit jams. So, today step one is complete: apricots have been rinsed, dried, halved, pitted (seeds reserved for their almond qualities for later use), quartered, and are now macerating in sugar and a little lemon juice in the fridge.

Tomorrow, we really start to jam out.
