Apricot

Apricots are well loved due to their sour, but sweet taste. They have a creamy, floral character and a mixture of fresh and tropical fruit notes – all of which is captured when they are freeze-dried.

Freeze-dried apricot is ideal for both sweet and savoury applications. Its bright yellow colour looks great in buttercream and confectionary, and the ingredient also works well as a component in dishes such as a coronation-style dry marinade for chicken. Perfect pairings include spices, such as cinnamon and cumin, as well as chocolate. Freeze-dried apricots are also great with pork and lamb, as well as goat’s cheese.
