Our Adventures in Apricots!
apriCOTS and TOTS
We felt one with nature as we harvested the apricots from the tree.
Step 1. Picking the apricots
Step 2. Washing and pitting the apricots
We had quite the fun little group of helpers!
Milly & Sophi were hard little workers when it came to pitting the apricots!
Sophi would not back down- she worked till the job was done:
Step 3. DOinG SoMethINg with the apricots...
*Homemade Fruit Leather:
Puree them, and pour them on a black garbage bag to dry out in the sun
(& we covered ours to keep the bugs out)
(& we covered ours to keep the bugs out)
*We thought we'd get creative & hang dry some Apricots:
*Then we decided to get REAL domestic & Bake some in the Solar Oven:
*Or just make some Apricot Jam?!
To sum it all up, this Apricot Adventure with our kids all sounded real fun, but by the end, it really ended up being the PITS...
THE END!!!
