So I have a bumper crop of APricots! Yum. And I have been canning and canning. I finished up some apricot preserves and was sitting here looking at them when it hit me- I didn't put any lemon juice in them. I know the recipe called for it.

Now what? Surely I don't have to trash all of my cans?! Can I just pass them out to friends and tell them to use it up asap? Or will it be just fine without the acid? Or have I just wasted all of my time?! DO I need to open up all the cans, reheat the apricots and add lemon juice?

Thanks so much.

By the way?! HOw is everyone? It's been so long and I have just been so busy, I really haven't been able to enjoy my garden or my canning or anything. This summer I promised myself I"d do it.
