For the past two weeks I have been elbow deep in apricots
and I am not even finished!
The first item I made was apricot butter. I it is pretty much the same as apple butter, except with apricots.
I started by chopping enough apricots to fill my crock pot.
I then added cinnamon and nut meg, any spice will work, it is all about personal taste preferences.
For sweetener I used honey, I just added it and stirred it until I reached the desired level of sweetness.
It is another one of those personal preference things.
I let it cook for about 6 hours until the apricots were nice and soft.
(I did a batch over night and it was a little too soft and went really brown, I wouldn’t suggest letting it cook all night)
I processed the butter in jelly jars for 15 minuets.
The kids say it tastes like peach cobbler
and I would have to agree.
Mmmmm
this looks and sounds delicious

PS: You wouldn't have any suggestions for about 4-6 large bowls of figs and countless amounts of Japanese plums would you? LOL
