Questions about Dehydrated apricots
How do you soften dehydrated apricots for cooking?
Cover them with hot water and leave for 10–20 minutes, then drain. For a softer texture in stews or tagines, add them straight to the pot and let them simmer until tender.
Do you need to soak dehydrated apricots before baking?
Usually not: chop them and fold them into cakes, muffins or flapjacks. If they feel very firm, soak them briefly and dry them well before adding so they do not bring excess water into the mixture.
What can you make with dehydrated apricots?
They work well in tagines with lamb or chickpeas, pilafs with rice and nuts, and porridge or yoghurt. Chop them finely for fruit cakes, or simmer them with a little water and lemon juice for a quick compote.
How should you store dehydrated apricots after opening?
Seal them in an airtight container and keep them in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight. If they become damp or develop mould, discard them.
Why are some dehydrated apricots bright orange and others brown?
Bright orange apricots are often treated with sulphur dioxide to preserve their colour; untreated fruit usually darkens to brown. If you want to avoid sulphites, choose a product labelled as sulphite-free.
Are dehydrated apricots and dried apricots different?
The names are often used for the same fruit: apricots with much of their water removed. The texture and colour can differ with the drying method and whether sulphur dioxide was used.
How many dehydrated apricots make a sensible snack portion?
A small handful, about 30 g, is a practical portion; dried fruit is concentrated, so it is easy to eat several pieces without noticing. Dehydrated apricots are a source of iron, with 6.3 mg per 100 g.
