If you have access to an apricot tree I highly suggest making fruit leather. This was my first time attempting any kind of dried fruit and it turned out heavenly!
Plus my house smelled great all day!! And if you read a
recent post you can see why that would be needed...lol
Apricot Fruit Leather4 cups chopped apricots
sugar
cinnamon
nutmeg
lemon juice
1/2 c water
Add apricots and a 1/2 c of water to a saucepan on low heat.
Cover, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
Add sugar 1 T at a time till it tastes good
Add lemon juice 1 tsp at a time to taste
Add cinnamon to taste
Add nutmeg to taste - I did a lot of tastin'!! :)
Simmer for 5 minutes on low heat until thickened a bit
In batches add mixture to a blender
Blend until smooooooooth
Prepare baking sheet: line with microwaveable safe plastic wrap
Add mixture to sheet about 1/4 inch thick
MAKE SURE the plastic wrap doesn't fold over mixture and that it doesn't touch your oven
