Omigod! I haven’t eaten a home grown apricot since I was a kid. I sniff the supermarket apricots and turn away in disgust. No nice apricoty smell.

Heaven would be a ripe apricot plucked off the tree. No, heaven would be a whole pieful!

They would be, but I make turnovers using those rolled-up frozen pie crusts you get at Smith’s. Cut each circle in half, pile apricot halves and lots of sugar on one end of each semi-circle, then fold the other end of the crust over. I guess we should call these “foldovers.”

Before baking, I make sure there’s brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon pretty much all over the pie crust. That way no matter what else happens, you’re gonna have some mighty tasty baked pie crust.

Turnovers? In NM? Would those be “empanadas”?
