Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Apricot Preserves

 

Ingredients

4 kg pitted, very ripe apricots (8 lbs 1, 2 oz)
3 1/4 kg sugar (7 lbs)
1 juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 package einsiedehilfe ('preserving aid') di, ssolved in



 

Preparation

hot water

Cook apricots and sugar to setting point, continually skimming off
foam. Shortly before done, add lemon juice. Remove from heat. Stir in
'Preserving Aid' dissolved in hot water. Pour into hot, dry,
sterilized jars. Seal jars with cellophane the top of which has been
dipped in rum and smooth the overhang over the jars' necks, tying
with thin twine.

Makes 12 half-liter jars and one quarter-liter jar. (Between 13 and
14 1 pint jars).

"Einsiedehilfe" ('Preserving Aid') is sold (in Austria) in 15 gram
packages and consists of 65 percent sugar and 35 percent benzoic acid.

To test for setting point: Spoon a little of the conserve onto a
chilled saucer. Leave for a few minutes - then hold saucer upside
down. If conserve doesn't run, then setting point has been reached.
