Villagers know how difficult it is with mature or overripe apricots. All attempts to transport fruits to relatives in the city, especially if you need to go for a day or two, or sell on the market end with apricots starting to rot and flow. Why? It is worth getting into the basket or bucket of one slightly rumpled or spoiled fetus, as immediately "become infected" and "neighbors. " Therefore, when setting off on a long journey, choose hard, a little incomplete apricots. The rest of the products must be processed immediately: cook jam, make compotes or dry. Apricots are cut into halves, bones are removed and dried without peeling. They are laid out on a grid or wooden grilles with a cut part to the sun. In a week, in warm weather of 100 kg of fresh apricots, you will get about 10-15 dried. In the oven, drying is started at a low temperature, and then the heat is increased to 70-75 ° C.
