Bottled Preserved Apricots Recipe

The season for fresh apricots is short and one way of extending the enjoyment of these beautiful fruits is in this bottled apricots recipe. It's such a simple recipe and, when the dark winter months come, you can open a jar of apricots for a taste of summer sunshine. Use these lovely preserved apricots in pies, cakes, desserts, or simply eat them with a spoon. To make the bottled apricots, you will need canning jars (probably 2-quart jars or 4-pint jars) that can be found in most supermarkets these days. At first, these jars will seem to be very costly, but they will last for years and can be used over and over again for new canning projects.
