What to do with 2½kg of fresh apricots?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

So, other than jam, what can I do with 2½kg of fresh ripe apricots please?

I've eaten as many as I can manage as fresh fruit and have dehydrated another 1kg of so....

Any other uses?

I was going to say "eat them" but you did already
Jam?
Juice?
And if all else fales, throw them in the freezer to use in a future cooked meal, as they won't be good to eat raw after that

At this time of year it has to be apricot Bellini‘s

Soak them in booze? You’ll get a flavorful liqueur and a delicious fruit compote.

Duck sauce.

I'm thinking fry mushrooms or jackfruit in a 5 spice rub and serve them in pancakes, peking duck style.

Trying to work my way through a similar amount of mango's and thinking you could make blatjang, or chutney.
Maybe even pickle some (sweet & sour pickle?)

You can send as much mango chutney this way as you like, Mr SSOAP has a love of mini poppadoms and mango chutney. They are his favourite crisps.

I figure you could do the same with apricots

I reckon so but apricots don’t have that same tang that mango’s do.

Apricot-lime pickle or chutney?
Got a feeling that might work?
apricot-tamarind sounds like another possible combo

I've got a T&T recipe for Apricot Chutney if you're interested.
I'd also think of making apricot crumble

What about using the kernels to make your own amaretto? It’s pretty basic mix of sugar, vodka and apricot kernels that you leave to steep.

We're not big drinkers, so no vodka in the house. The kernels have gone back out under the tree. I've actually had to buy 2 bottles of wine in just to make our Christmas meals for the next week. One dish needs red wine (the mushroom dish) and the other needs white (a chickpea pistou).

Peel and freeze to save them? You can still do a lot with them after

I am surprised you ask. You are so creative and inventive. I would scald, dunk in ice water then freeze. A vacuum sealer is very helpful.
