5 Things To Do With Apricots

Who doesn’t love a slice of fresh bread? Better yet, some of this homemade fruity loaf. This recipe by Baking Queen 74 is to die for: packed with soft apricots, fresh apple and lightly spiced with some fragrant cinnamon, she says it’s delicious for a weekend breakfast or perfect for an afternoon snack. We definitely agree.

Apricots are great in all dishes and even when they’re not the main feature they definitely add a unique flavour. Our cinnamon apple recipe is accompanied by dried apricots, which are thrown in at the end of the cooking process. Refreshingly light and delicious, this is a great dessert for a light spring or summer evening.

Delicious and nutritious, this rice dish by Ethnic Spoon is packed with apricots and almonds, creating a fantastic mixture of flavours. The balance of savoury comes from ingredients including onions and chicken broth, where the sweetness comes from the apricots and dates. The almonds add a nice crunch so the whole dish has a great variety of textures. Simply delicious!

BBQ season is nearly upon us, so whilst you’re gathering up your signature recipes to wow your friends and family, add this one from Greedy Gourmet into the mix. Sosaties are a South African skewered meat, marinated in apricot jam and threaded onto skewers with onions, bay leaves and dried apricot. These will definitely be popular.

Cheesecake is a classic dessert: a go-to if you will. It’s easy to whip up in a hurry and always goes down a treat. Vikalinka’s crumb apricot cheesecake is an amazing twist on a seasonal favourite: with a buttery baked pastry crust, almond crumb topping and creamy vanilla and apricot filling, this dish is to die for.
