Sun Ripened Apricots

My parents have an apricot tree. A beautiful apricot tree filled with sun ripened apricots. We have been harvesting fruit from this tree over the last couple weeks and finding creative ways to eat and preserve them. I have learned over the last few years that my family is not terribly excited about canned apricots or even apricot jam; however, we do use frozen apricots regularly in our smoothies. To preserve apricots I simply pit, halve and place them on a cookie sheet which goes into the freezer. Once frozen I put the apricots in large resealable bags. I have also discovered two new way of enjoying apricots: apricot-caramel popsicles (from People’s Pops) and rustic apricot tart. I would love to hear about your favourite ways of enjoying apricots.
