Canning
Apricots
Apricots
turned mushy
I was canning apricots using the cold pack method
and processed them for 20 minutes as recommended. The
apricots
turned mushy and basically disintegrated. The tasted bitter.
It
appears as if they had been cooked to long. I'm not sure what
to
do the next time.

Hi Randi,
When you say cold pack I assume you mean you
packed them cold and processed them in a water bath canner. I
double check because terminology has caused misunderstandings. :0)
The
only thing I can think of is your fruit might have been over
ripe. Not sure why they would be bitter though.
Apricots
are naturally not as sweet as some other fruits. And keep in
mind
store bought canned apricots probably have extra sugar in the
syrup. Try
adding a heavier syrup next time. (more sugar)
We did not get ANY apricots this year... I'm so bummed. So is
my husband, they are his favorite.
Have a great day.
