Thank you for your support. Over the last couple of weeks, Anita has gifted me peaches from a friend's tree and apricots from her own tree. It has been amazing to process these fruits and add them to my pantry. In the midst of it all, I realized that I haven't ever shown you how easy it is to can apricots! They are absolutely one of my favorite fruits to can because of the ease of the process and because a jar of freshly opened apricots tastes amazing! Almost as good as the fresh fruit! So, here is my basic tutorial! There are two things about apricots that make them a dream to can:
I may have expressed the joy of working with apricots when I shared my Apricot Jam recipe, or my Apricot Peach Butter, both of which you can also make with your gifted apricots after simply canning a few jars of the apricot halves. By the way, I will give you the link to print the cute jar lid labels below! Okay! Here are the Simple Steps to Canning Apricots!
OH! Now one last step! Don't forget to label your jars with the date that they were canned. As you know, I prefer to use labels on my lids since it is so hard to remove the adhesive from the glass jars. Plus, the lids usually are disposed of after using the fruit inside. Here is a link for you to copy some 2 inch labels that I designed for my apricot jars! All you have to do is add the date! *One more note: You can also cut your apricots into slices, but that just seems like busy work to me. Since this fruit is so small to begin with, a slice is basically bite sized anyway. I've created a lot of other labels for canning that you can print off and use for free! Here are a few of the options:
There are many more if you type label into the search bar!
I love to use these labels to print on. They are inexpensive and you get quite a few and they work with Avery templates!
