I know this is an older video, but thank you for keeping it up! My 87 year old mom asked me to can her Apricots and I never have before. This helped a lot. Thank you so much, she is going to be so happy!!
Thank you SO much for making this video! Last December, we moved into a house that has a mature apricot tree in the backyard and I've been watching the leaves grow and now the fruit, and I'm so excited to be up to my elbows in apricots soon!
And I love your easy to follow instructions Especially for people with reading or difficulty learning very easy for me to learn from you thank you so much
Hi! I live in the Central Valley, CA. Getting ready to can apricots and appreciate your video. It’s just the way my MIL taught me 40 ys ago ❤️ you showed a pic of beautiful apricot pastries but I can’t find the recipe. I’d love to make them, thank you!
You do?? I just go at slow pace that’s why I keep my jars heated in the oven so I can take my time. I’m generally a pretty mellow person as it is though.
You have inspired me but I will have to wait till next season for my apricot tree. This season I made apricot jam got the very 1st time. I look forward to making your recipe next .
Thank you, great video. I find getting that first layer of fruit (usually peaches) really fiddly, it is a lot harder than it looks LOL I even add a drop of syrup first to make sure that the cavity is filled, but they still jump around as I build the layers. I am going to try this recipe with apricots next, but I wondered how the skins turn out when they are canned. Are the apricot skins soft? I never see instructions to peel apricots, yet they recommend peeling peaches. Thank you.
I know my apricots are ripe but they sticking horribly to the seed not as easy to pull a part as you did why are mine different from yours mine are reddish yellow apricots does it make a difference cause even the over ripe still wouldn’t separate from the seed I had to use a knife to pry them off some butcher as I tried.
My grand mom made me apricot jam up until she passed away. This was great! Are you from CA originally? I love these canning vids. I have a lot to learn and you’re so good at it!
Melissa Collins Yes I grew up in California and moved to Texas four years ago. My husband grew up in Texas. I’ll have to do a apricot jam video for you!
Milk And Honey Acreage all of her family was from California.... they had apricot and raspberry farms. 😋 would love to see that recipe! I would love to see your advice on canning essentials.
We just canned apricots using a USDA procedure and they had us put the apricots in a mild lemon water solution to preserve their color, but I think it broke down their texture. You don’t use lemon juice or Fruit Fresh?
They pick them before they are ripe so that they will make it to the shelf. Also some of the larger varieties much less sweet/flavorful. Backyard tree ripened fresh apricots will usually be better.
I am a total novice at canning, and your video makes is look much simpler than the scary directions out of my canning book. Thank you

Thank you April. We have four inquisitive kids so I’ve learned simple and to the point is best.

@0:20 Never looking at an apricot the same way again 😂 Great vid as always!
I was wondering if someone was going to catch that!! 😂😂😂
Cool video! Thanks for sharing!
I love how calm you are! I get so nervous every time I'm going to can something!
You do?? I just go at slow pace that’s why I keep my jars heated in the oven so I can take my time. I’m generally a pretty mellow person as it is though.
About to give it a go for the first time. Thank you.
I love the canning videos. I learn a lot and you inspire me. Thanks!
💟Thank You!💟

You have inspired me but I will have to wait till next season for my apricot tree.
This season I made apricot jam got the very 1st time.
I look forward to making your recipe next .
Thanks for the details! First time & I learned a lot
I’m so glad! Have fun!

Lovely, I am a random man! Love the woman touch!
Anything you’re canning is a good video to make 👍🏻
Doreen Marchetti 💟Thank You!💟
Thanks! Do you have the apricot pie recipe you would share?
Thanks for sharing! Please can you tell how long should this preserve last without a fridge?
Really enjoyed this video. I am interested to see more. Any suggestions you have, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
how long do you boil the lids/rings? does that degrade the rubber seal on lids?
About two minutes no it doesn’t it actually helps them to seal better.
When you are sterilizing the jars in the oven, are you talking about degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? (I am in new Zealand)
Fahrenheit 🙂
Question did you weigh your cots before pitted or after you removed the pits? 2 lbs per qt.
Before. 🙂
A friend told me I could make apricot jelly from the juice mine was really apricotie tasting so I should make a nice jelly correct???
Yes it makes wonderful jelly!
Please share your canning recipe and how to use them
There are not many videos out there to cook with canned goods

It could be the variety. Try google freestone apricot varieties.

No I don’t and they still have a beautiful color.
Do you peel the skin off?
Nope there’s so much flavor in that skin!
Using a wide mouth jar is much easier to pack the jars as well as removing the apricots when you want to use them.
lekkerrrrrrr
California apricots that I’ve ever gotten were never as good as the ones that grow in my backyard in Paducah.
You have to get them straight from the farm store bought are no good!
They pick them before they are ripe so that they will make it to the shelf. Also some of the larger varieties much less sweet/flavorful. Backyard tree ripened fresh apricots will usually be better.
Hmmmm bootie
🤣🤣
Which part of the apricot looks like a shoe? Booty? What?!
California apricots are not the best
Yes they are hands down!
Thanks for sharing! Please can you tell how long should this preserve last without a fridge?
Well usually 1-2 years but my grandmother stored hers for many many years.
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage Have already tried your recipe. Hope it would be a success.
Thank you for replying. ❤️
