This is not a recipe post, but a heads up to let you all know I made my first batch of apricot jam,while the wife is away. So if this turns into my last post, it means I poisoned myself, or dear wife killed me for not cleaning up my mess before she gets home, and you folks can divide up my mould collection.
If this stuff turns out edible, my next attempt will be chokecherry jelly, my favorite.
