This year the crop was pretty small.
The apricots were pretty big.
The canning set up is in the backyard and so are the apricot tree. It is a Tilton apricot. They produce the biggest apricots of the season. Some say they are not as tasty as the smaller ones that come earlier in season. I originally thought that I would be doing a lot of drying of apricots when I planted this tree 28 years ago.
So eight quarts got canned today. They were pretty clean. I will trim the tree down again next year and get a few more.
The little dwarf trees in front are still kicking out fruit. I still have a half a tree of nectarines on the branch. The peaches are getting softer each day. I just have one more hand full of the flavor supreme pluots.
Have a great day.. Pat
