skim off any foam that forms.

IV, No. 3, pp. 30-31. In "Fiery Fruits" article by Nancy Gerlach.
Gerlach also wrote: "This recipe calls for apricots but peaches,
nectarines, and pears work equally well. Any fresh green chile can
also be substituted, depending on your heat preference. Serranos will
make it hotter; roasted, peeled New Mexican chiles will tame it down."
