Tonight I went to my Mom's house to learn how to make apricot jam with my Gramsies.
We started with 1/2 bushel of apricots.

Followed Gramsies instructions carefully.


Ran to the store for extra supplies.
And plugged along until we used up all the apricots.


Homemade goodness.

Apricot Jam

1/4 bushel of apricots quartered and pureed. 
2 cans crushed pineapple with juice.
4 oranges peeled and pureed and 1 orange zest.
