About Apricots, canned, heavy syrup, drained
The apricot is a small, golden-orange stone fruit with soft, velvety skin and a honeyed sweet-tart flavor, a close relative of the peach, plum, and cherry. Ripe apricots are fragrant and juicy, with a single smooth pit that slips out cleanly when you halve them. They are an outstanding source of beta-carotene and vitamin A, the pigments behind their warm color, along with vitamin C, fiber, and potassium, all for very few calories.
Apricots are wonderful eaten fresh, baked into tarts and cobblers, roasted alongside pork or chicken, and simmered into jam, and they are especially famous dried, where the flavor turns deep and chewy, though drying concentrates the sugars and calories. The kernels are sometimes pressed for oil and the bitter-almond note in amaretto, though they should not be eaten raw in quantity. Choose plump, fragrant fruit that yields gently to the touch, ripen firm apricots on the counter, then refrigerate them to catch that fleeting sweet peak.
