While you're at it, spend $5-7 for a copy of the Ball Blue Book. Or a
copy of So Easy To Preserve -- you can order it from the NCHFP site, I'm
pretty sure. Might have to poke around there to find the info. Or the
Complete Book of Home Preserving (that one's put out by Ball in the USA
and Bernardin in Canadia -- costs more, though).

The only ones I can find that will grow here are full sized trees and,
boo hoo, I don't have room for two of those. I am also envious.

only had part of the stuff - I called it Apricot Squared),

Was that mine, with the fresh apricots, dried apricots and apricot
schnapps? (was a butter, though, not a jam).

You betcha. I made an apricot jam with dried apricots soaked in apricot
brandy. OMG. was fab. We actually get good apricots down this way, along
with peaches, etc. One orchard has some leetle teeny ones, but that's up the
road aways and I can't hardly afford to drive so far anymore. Drat. Maybe
they'll come down to Farmers' Market.
