It made me smile each time your baby looked around you when you were wearing him. So adorable! Thanks for helping this newbie learn how to can apricots! God bless you and your family!
Oh my goodness. What a multi tasking woman you are!!!! I had to pause to type as I saw the second child walk by....I can imagine if you have to pee in the middle of all this. My Mom had 9 and I remember so much and I am laughing my butt off. We were wild....
@@kerschnerfarmstead My Mom was completely done having kiddos at the age of 32. Gave birth to her first at 19. God bless you . You gave me great memories of my beloved Mom.
I do know that! It's actually what they use to make "almond" extract. However be very careful with dosage taking them because they are poisonous (cyanide). ~Kirstie
You’re amazing! Talk about multitasking!! I just got apricots yesterday and was wondering what to do since I don’t have enough freezer space. I’m going to can them today.
When you set your filled jars in the bath, do you have a silicone buffer or anything that prevents the jars from touching the bottom of your pot? Thanks!
Thanks for the new info on the lids. Did you wash the apricots, and how? Now I want to see how you'd do this process "cold" - am somewhat confused lol!
So to cold start when canning fruit you will start with cold jars, cold product and a cold canning pot. You will get your jars ready the same way only everything is cold/cool. Then put them in your canning pot filled with cold/cool water and bring it to a boil. Once your pot reaches a boil you will start your timer and process the same. I hope this helps!
OK so I use a medium syrup so 1 part sugar and 2 parts water. For 8 jars I used 4 cups of sugar and 8 cups of water and then I unfortunately did not weigh the fruit, but I know I used about 55 to fill 8 pint size jars. I hope this helps!

I just finished water bath canning two quarts of apricots. So far, so good. They look beautiful. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
That's so great I'm glad that I could help 😊 !
Did you know that inside the pit has a nut that has amazing benefits? It looks like an almond and taste like an almond.

Let us know how they turn out. The kids and us absolutely love these especially on a hot day nice and cooled off.
When you set your filled jars in the bath, do you have a silicone buffer or anything that prevents the jars from touching the bottom of your pot? Thanks!
Yes !! That's a great question we have a wire rack that goes in the bottom of the pot for a buffer. Your very welcome God bless and good luck canning.

So that was how much water in cups or liters and how many grams of sugar? How may kilos of apricots and how many pint or quart jars?
