About Apricots
Apricots are the small, rounded fruits of an apricot tree, usually with velvety golden-yellow to orange skin that may be flushed red. Their flesh is soft and juicy when ripe, surrounding a hard pit, and has a fragrant flavour ranging from sweet to pleasantly tart. Fresh fruit is seasonal; dried apricots are a separate, more concentrated form.
Fresh apricots are eaten as fruit and used in baking, preserves, sauces and other preparations. They are also sold canned or dried, sometimes with added sweetener or preservatives. Varieties differ in size, colour, firmness and flavour, and ripeness strongly affects sweetness and texture, so fresh and processed forms should not be treated as interchangeable.
