Salted apricot (like Umeboshi)


I am not sure what will be the resulting taste, as these apricots are sweet, unlike the sour Ume used in making Umeboshi. Anyway worth a try, I can always use them in pickling vegetables. 

 
salting apricot
1. Weight apricot and add 8% its weight of salt, place in a big shallow tray, put a weight on top and cover well. Liquid will ooze out the next day, turn over, eventually the fruits should be submerged in this salty brine.
