In order to extend the enjoyment of these lovely apricots, I decided to make Apricot-Pineapple Jam, Apricot Fruit Leather, and Apricot Syrup. Here is my attempt at making the syrup:
APRICOT SYRUP
2 lbs fresh apricots
1 cup water
2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
4 cups sugar
1 tbsp corn syrup
Pit and chop apricots. In a blender or food processor, puree them with the water.
Put into a large pot with the sugar, lemon juice, and and corn syrup.
Cook and stir over medium heat until it begins to boil.
Boil for 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
Process in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes.
(I processed mine in a Steam Canner for 15 minutes.)
**Please see the Bernardin website for canning instructions
This particular batch made six 8-ounce jars of Apricot Syrup. The seventh jar wasn't quite full so we got to sample the yumminess.
I will definitely be making more!

Thank you for the recipe and instructions. My Dh loves apricot syrup! I usually buy a rather expensive commercial brand. Now, I'm going to try making our own!

I am so glad you posted apricot recipes because my neighbors trees have just a couple weeks left and they'll be ready. I love fresh apricots, and wanted to know different ways, besides jam, to preserve them ('cause I don't really like apricot jam). But I wanted to preserve some anyway. Thank you for the ideas!
