    try drying them elliceh - - -
    lots on google about drying

    the really serious then freeze them after they're dried to kill any maggots that have got into them..... though with a bit of care and flywire there isn't a problem with maggots

    do you know what variety of apricot you are growing??

    im not growing them unfortunately paradisi, they were on a super special where i buy some fruit & veg online. So i got a few kilos then realised i didn't have enough jars. i made some stewed apricots and bottled some and also froze some, and the rest i made into jam which i had enough jars for.... phew!
