When mom made canned apricots, we kids would spread out the apricot pits and let them bake in the sun for a few days, and then we&#39;d crack them open with a hammer and eat them like nuts. Delicious! Never thought they might have more formal culinary uses, but the taste was wonderful.Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-20037411232969526842009-07-03T17:08:39.089-07:002009-07-03T17:08:39.089-07:00I think you have the premise for your first cookbook: Cooking with a Hammer.<br /><br />And it hadn&#39;t occurred to me to roast my noyaux before putting them in my jam. Rather obvious in retrospect, since I always roast or toast nuts and seeds.
