Summer Apricots

 Hi Everyone

Happy Monday

It is always fun in the summer to go out in the backyard

and pick the ripe apricots right off the tree

 This year we have a bumper crop 

Just look at this branch full of ripe apricots

 When they get really ripe they fall to the ground

Apricots are so good for you

full of vitamins and sweet as candy 

Best part no preservatives or pesticides

~Home grown~

They are a family favorite

We even make apricot smash My take on jam 

just remove pits, smash apricots add a dash of lemon juice and sugar to taste

I microwave it for 6 minutes and let it cool

so easy and delicious

Apricots remind me of my Grandmother

She had a apricot tree in her backyard too and when we were little we would all sit under the tree and eat apricots popping them in our mouths one right after the other

we always would end up covered from head to toe

sticky and gooey from the juicy ripe and delicious treats

A sweet and wonderful memory

{Love}

that our children know what its like to get all sticky from apricots too
