Apricots

Apricots are relatives of the peach and are very high in vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Apricots are a very popular choice when making jams, preserves, or canning. 

Selection tips

Select apricots that are firm, plump, yield to slight pressure, and is orange-gold in color with some hints of redness. Avoid fruit that are green in color, bruised, or shriveled skin. Handle apricots carefully to prevent bruising.
