NEW 5th Anniversary Edition!

For the Love of Apricots arrived just in time for the 2018 summer apricot season. The response was extraordinary and the first printing sold out in 3 months! When the second printing sold out in 2019, I decided to make improvements to the text and images in a 2020 Second Edition.

While the arrival of Covid had an impact on commerce, fortunately apricots were and are an essential business! By the end of 2022, copies of the 2nd Edition were sold out. Again, I took the opportunity to fine tune the photos, text, and recipes and print the new, even more wonderful, 5th Anniversary Edition that is available for sale!

I came home with my first cherries and apricots of the season from @thefarmersdaughter (and met a lovely one) and @froghollowfarm.
