Have any of you ever made apricot nectar before? I grew up drinking this nectar from heaven and was so excited to make some for my own family. In the above picture, I'm holding the honey before I add it to the nectar.
This machine makes making apricot nectar so easy. It takes the cooked apricots and separates the juice from the pulp. This is the same machine I'll be using this fall to make homemade applesauce. I don't know what it is called but it is so nice and makes the smoothest nectar and applesauce.
Do you see all those jars of nectar? Oh so yuumy!!
We made twenty quarts of nectar today. Not all the apricots have been picked and so I plan on making a few more quarts next week. The fun point of the day was when we were picking the apricots and decided just to shake the branches, hoping the ripe apricots would fall to the ground...which they did...and then we just picked up the fallen apricots and brought them in the house to make into nectar. It didn't matter that they were bruised, we were just going to juice them anyway. And this is how beautiful they turned out!!

I remember apricot nectar from when I was a kid. I loved it, too! You guys have been so busy!
My Grandmother used to serve the most delicious apricot drink when I was a kid. I asked her this week when I saw her if she remembered how she made it. She didn't even remember it. Oh well, she is 94...
All of your canning looks SOOOO yummy! Someday, will you teach me? It's so awesome to have much of your food storage from work you did with your own hands. How rewarding!
