Description/Taste
Apricots are one of the smaller stone fruits. Their shape is rounded yet oblong. The skin is smooth and velvety, golden orange with slight rosy blushing, depending on variety. The fruit contains a loosely connected central pit. Younger apricots will be slightly firm, and somewhat sweet, yet lacking developed flavor as they ripen even after they are harvested. Ripe apricots are sweet forward with a slightly tart finish and a juicy, tender mouthfeel.
Seasons/Availability
Apricots are available in the spring through summer months.
