We completely neglected to thin the backyard apricot tree, so we have a huge crop of tiny apricots this year.
Early pickings go into the dehydrator. Later fruit will go into the freezer to eventually become jam. And of course we also eat them fresh until the whole family is sick of them.

Nice! We made a bunch of jam. I need to get a food dehydrator for so many things.
You can also make an apricot leather in the dehydrator, much like a fruit roll up!
Do they keep long when dehydrated?
2 to 3 weeks is no problem. I have read that they should keep for 6 to 12 months, but I have not experimented with keeping them that long at room temperature.
We store them in the freezer, then take out batches one at a time for snacking. Each batch doesn’t last very long once my kids realize it’s open.
Oh hey I used to see infomercials on TV for those food dryer things.
Nice haul! That must have taken quite a bit time.
Yeah, processing all the fruit in this picture consumed a whole evening after dinner. Hobbies like this are why I’m clueless about TV shows, movies, YouTubers, and popular culture in general.
until the whole family is sick of them.
Sorry, got to be a bot. No way this is real.
