Serving Ideas
For a special breakfast, whip up a batch of apricot scones with a vanilla glaze! Or enjoy plain scones with some refrigerator apricot jam.
Use apricots to make a tangy marmalade or chutney recipe, like this pear apricot chutney from Canadian Living.
Grilled halved apricots are a delicious addition to your favourite salads. Try this twist on an Italian classic: grilled apricot caprese salad. Or turn it into a fancy appetizer for entertaining guests.
You can also purée apricot to use as a glaze for your favourite protein. We love this version of salmon! You can also fold in the puree into whipped cream to make a simple apricot fool. It sounds fancy but it’s super simple.
