Apricot Jam - erh - Stew
So Why Did I Make Jam?
That should be attempt to make jam. And why? I mean jam is cheap, always available, in fact I've been given so much I've never needed to buy it. And it is good jam, so why am I spending Saturday night attempting to make jam (really making a sticky mess in the kitchen)?
Because one of the trees I didn't cut down is an apricot tree that has been just covering my front yard with apricots. I already feel guilty about so much fruit going to waste (I'd collected the little that we wanted to eat), but then two of the guys living out the back picked them all up (bucket loads), sorted the good from the bad, washed the good ones and gave them to me to make some jam.
So that is why on a Saturday night I was attempting to make jam. It didn't set so we'll have sweet stewed apricots for breakfast for the next few weeks.
