Apricots 2014

Big thanks to tenbears for netting the apricot tree again this year. I figured it was about apricot week so I enquired as to the state of the fruit. It was reported that some were "apricot coloured" so I went over to investigate. I got in first, sorry to everyone else that wanted to pick. There will be more fruit ripe very soon! Two small trugs ~half full turns out to mean about 10kg of apricots.



So ~half kilo went into brandy
3kg to jam
2kg to chutney
2kg to freezer for someone else to cook
~2kg are left as eating fruit or to ripen a bit more.

I'd quite like a few more to brew with later, but will see how others and the tree go over the next week.
