COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1To rehydrate or 'plump' dried apricots, soak them in hot water, fruit juice, or liqueur for 15-30 minutes before using in recipes.
2Chop and add to savory dishes like Moroccan tagines, stews, or rice pilafs for a touch of sweetness.
3Incorporate into baked goods such as scones, muffins, and breads, or use as a filling for tarts.
4Blend with a little water to create a natural fruit puree that can be used as a sweetener or a base for sauces and glazes.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place like a pantry for up to 6 months.
For longer storage (6-12 months), place the airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain moisture and prevent spoilage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How can I use dried apricots in cooking?

Dried apricots are versatile in cooking. They can be added to oatmeal, yogurt, salads, and trail mixes. They also work well in baked goods like muffins and cookies, or in savory dishes such as tagines, stuffings, and chutneys for a sweet and tangy flavor.

Do dried apricots need to be rehydrated before use?

It depends on the recipe. For softer textures in baked goods or stews, rehydrating them in warm water or juice for 15-30 minutes can be beneficial. However, for snacks, trail mixes, or when a chewier texture is desired, they can be used directly from the package.

How long do dried apricots last?

When stored properly in an airtight container in a pantry, dried apricots can last for 6-12 months. Refrigeration can extend their shelf life to 1-2 years, and freezing can keep them fresh for even longer, up to several years.
