apricot deliciousness!

We got an apricot tree last spring, knowing how many dried apricots we buy in bulk at the co-op for snacking and to mix into our granola.

We planned on drying out our own homegrown apricots; well, this was our plan until last night.

Yesterday, David picked the first ripe apricot and it had such a delicate flavor, it was juicy and delicious! Kind of like a peach, but milder in flavor, not as stringy and smaller - of course.

Now I'm wondering if we'll have any apricots left to dry...I may be eating all of the fresh fruit instead. :)
