Apricot Harvest 2011

Monkey-man Jack...a HUGE help...even in the kitchen!

Tato Bug with the trusty picker (which saved us!)

Rogan...our
"chief" picker...reaching great heights!

Before syrup production...

After syrup production...barely put a dent in it...
40 some-odd jars later!

Once again...despite the frost...and months of "winter weather"...our apricot tree pulled through with a bountiful harvest!  We picked, climbed, pureed, and boiled to make delicious apricot syrup!  Delicious on ice cream, and my sour cream banana pancakes.  The kids will be having a "stand" on the corner this Saturday to sell our harvest yummy!  So fun, and a great experience for the kids!  (I really had fun too...but don't tell them.)
