➡️ NOTS:
➡️ Fresh Apricots
If using fresh apricots, wash the apricots, score a cross on the skin, and blanch them in hot water for three minutes. Then, drop them in cold water so the skin peels off easily.
Remove skin, chop, and use as needed.
➡️ Canned Apricots
Drain apricots well. Chop and use as suggested in the recipe.
➡️ Frozen apricots Thaw apricots, drain any excess liquid then use.
