Apricot butter sounds like it's absolutely to die for!

True statement.

Do you have anything with a few drops of booze in it?

I don't have any at the moment, but that could change in the next couple
days.

Have you settled on a presentation "basket" yet? What are the major
ethnic influences in your area?

Influences or populations? I've seen no indication of influence by the
groups mentioned below. This is going to be one of those KISS projects,
I'm seeing -- why unnecessarily complicate things. :-) More
German-rooted surnames than any other, not Scandinavian as most think.

I looked up Minnesota and this is what I found: "Minnesota has the
largest Hmong, Somali, and Liberian communities in the U.S. One of
the largest Native American urban populations in the nation is
concentrated around Minneapolis."

Bushel, huh? That's a big basket. Just remember not to hide your light

I found a shallow thing like Debra was talking about at Target. My
store didn't have the one I really wanted (more like a bushel basket)
and I figured I'd just use gas unnecessarily to find one. this doesn't
have to be perfect -- the contents will cover that requirement. "-)

You said it! Believe me, the Governor's wife will not forget you!

Apricots are in season now. YUM!

Aprocots are a crop with a limited growing season, even here in
California. Buy them now, or you'll have to wait until next year.

I hate you. (Nothing personal) I'd kill for some locally grown fresh
aps. I'll make do with what's sent here, though. Am thinking about a
jar of Apricot Butter in the bountiful basket, though I have one from
last year available.

You will have to make do with the shipped ones. This be minnesota.
Apricots basically don't grow here, although some folks try. Maybe Iowa
or Michigan or someplace? Door Co.?

I think I didn't say it right. I'd kill for some apricots grown and
ripened in California and teleported (or something) to me for use. I've
always made my blue ribbon apricot butter with California aps, Del. I
used to be able to get them for a buck a pound, now I buy when they're
two bucks a pound. Ugh. They're usually not very ripe. It's time..
I may need a bank loan.

I thought apricots grew in those little plastic bags at Fleet Farm.
They're kinda dry, but they taste good.

I've seen something at the produce sections at the stores that *look*
like fresh apricots, but they have no taste at all.

Best regards,
Bob

It's about 3" deep and has some small handles on 2 sides. It was
available in several sizes from 6 x 9 to 12 x 24. That might be
something for you to consider.

That's what I'll be looking for - that rather than a carry handle from
one side to the other, Easter basket style.

Quoted message said:

It will be easy to handle, hold the weight

Exactly. Where'd you find yours, Debra?

Sorry Barb, I haven't been feeling well and didn't get back out here
till this evening.

I got my basket at Michael's ...the Craft Store. They had it in
several sizes all nested together...and at first I thought you had to
buy all of them. I took the nest apart and saw that each was
individually priced, so I picked the one I wanted.

New Mexico has lovely apricots. Some species are tiny, tho, about the size of a
very big grape.

Barb,
I'm in Ohio, and we get ripe apricots every year around the
beginning of July. I don't know where they come from, since they
certainly aren't from Ohio, but for a short few weeks, life is good. Of
course I don't make jam, I stuff them (halved and pitted) with
Mascarpone and top with Rainier Cherries, or fresh blackberries. Why
cook on a hot summer day ?

Dean G.
P.S. You don't have to kill anyone for them either. They probably come
right up I-75 from Georgia or Florida. Now a hijacking I could
understand. <g>

I keep looking at the apricot tree on our back 40, but have seen no
signs of nascent fruit. And Ranee's got her hopes up for getting some
off this tree.

Wait'll next year, as the Cubs fans have said for the last 100 or so
years.

I'd be happy to go to the farmer's market this weekend and have them
overnighted to you, but expect the freight would be muy $$$. Offer's
on the table, however.

She scores!! Apricots are $1.88/lb. at Cub this week. I picked up
about 10 pounds to turn into apricot butter and apricot jam. Yum.

Thank you but I'll pass. I'd have to charge $12 a jar for the stuff --
$6 is bad enough. :-) That's a really kind and generous offer, though.
I caught a sale at Cub this week for $1.88/lb. Could be worse. Any
time they're $2 or less, it's about what I hope for.
