Heh I did't mind Cynic. After I called him a pretentious fluffy bunny we got along fine
Hmmm apricots pressed through moulie, back in cleaned slowcooker, if it doesn't thicken up a bit in 30 minutes will add gelatine and fill into jars. Taking photos at each stage, hope i can spur interest here.
If I was any good with welding etc i would make an offset smoker like the yanks have & cook a big joint of pork over 24 hours or so, falling off fork tender, tangy with smoke!

Well done Monk - looks amazing. Interesting combination to have apricot sauce on roast pork. My father was an adequate cook, but his piece de resistance was apricot chicken. After having it a few dozen times - I began to gag when I smelt it. I haven't been able to really touch apricots since, but perhaps you could substitute mulberries or plums - that's about the only edible fruit in my garden. Although I doubt it would go well with pork or chicken.

Plums would be good! Sweeten it as needed and enjoy on toast! Mulberries should be doable too.
Both would make killer meads-melomels to be specific.

Hmmm talking of crusts of cheese, if you have a nice bit of parmesan, Reggiona etc don't throw the crusts away!
Put them in jars and fill jars with EVOO, seal and leave 6-12 months or whatever. Boy does the oil pick up the parmesan flavor! Rich!

What do you do with cheese-flavoured OO?

Where ever you would use EVOO and the rich cheesiness of the oil would increase flavor, as part of a vinaigrette, or for cooking a pasta sauce etc.

Mm, might be good in a Caesar salad.

Exactly! And way better than just tossing the crusts into the rubbish bin!
