Before you know it, it's the height of summer outside your window, with its hot sun and ripe fruits, including juicy apricots.
What to do when only seeds remain from a mountain of orange fruits?
Instead of heading to the trash can, pick up a hammer.
You will need a construction tool to split the bones, after which you need to remove the “nut” from each one.
You can peel the pit at your discretion, or eat it as is. It looks and tastes like real almonds.
Many housewives know the recipe for apricot jam, when sweet jam was cooked from the fruit pulp, and then those very “nuts” were added to it.
It is worth noting that the pits of large apricots are edible; the “insides” of small fruits will be tasteless.
This rule does not apply to other stone fruits - peaches, plums or nectarines. Only apricots have edible seeds.
