We have a couple of apricot trees in the front of the house that produce fruit every year no matter how much we mistreat them. Last week Kevin and I were seized by an impulse to make them into wine. There are lots of recipes on the web here, and here, and even a commercial example. The recipes call for added sugar, which we haven't done yet. Maybe tomorrow when I add the yeast, I might add some if we are still calling it wine. We might call it something else akin to cider or perry---more flavor, less alcohol.Today was really hot by the time we got out the ladders and headed out to the trees. It took a while, but I think summer finally arrived. Evidently, it takes a lot of pilsner to make apricot wine.
