Pitted Apricot 500

£4.99

Prices checked

Pitted apricots are a store-cupboard staple for a Moroccan-style tagine, adding natural sweetness to the dish. This pack contains dried apricots with the stones removed, ready to use straight from the bag. The apricots are soft and chewy, with a deep amber colour and a naturally tart-sweet flavour. Because they are pitted, there is no need to prepare them before cooking or snacking. They work well stirred into rice dishes, simmered into fruit compotes, or chopped into cakes, flapjacks and muffins. Many home cooks also add them to porridge or granola, or eat them straight from the pack as a snack. For cooking, soak the apricots in warm water for a few minutes before adding to slow-cooked dishes such as tagines or casseroles, as this softens them further and helps them blend into the sauce. When baking, chop them finely so they distribute evenly through the mixture. Once opened, keep the apricots in a sealed container or resealable bag in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain their texture and stops them drying out further. Properly stored, they remain a versatile addition to both sweet and savoury cooking throughout the week.
