Κομπόστο βερίκοκο.
3 kg of apricots
2 ½ glasses of sugar
5 glasses of water
1 tbsp of lemon
Make the syrup. Wash the bottles well and place them in a large pot with boiling water for 5 minutes to sterilise them. Keep the pot with the water for later use. Wash the apricots and remove the pits. In a basin add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 glass of water. Place each apricot in after removing the pit to prevent them from changing colour. Remove them, rinse them well and transfer them in a colander to drain. Put the apricots and the syrup in small jars and close them tightly. Put the jars back in the pot containing water and let them boil for 15 minutes. ('Kyperounda'. See Kourri and Lazarou 2007)
