Publix Halves Unpeeled Apricot
What it is
These are apricot halves that have been preserved in their own juice. They are a convenient way to enjoy the taste of fresh apricots when they are not in season. The fruit is soft and tender, with a natural sweetness. The peel is left on, which adds a slight texture and a bit more of the apricot's natural flavor. They are ready to eat straight from the can.
How people cook with it
These apricot halves are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, both sweet and savory.
- Topping for yogurt
- Ingredient in baked goods
- Added to salads
- Served with cheese
Open the can and drain the excess juice if desired. The apricot halves can be eaten as they are, providing a sweet and slightly tart snack. They are also excellent when added to breakfast foods like oatmeal or pancakes. For a simple dessert, serve them chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They can also be incorporated into fruit salads or used as a topping for cakes and tarts. Their natural sweetness makes them a good addition to savory dishes, such as pork roasts or chicken salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike canned apricots that are peeled, these halves retain their skins. This provides a slightly chewier texture and a more robust apricot flavor. The unpeeled nature also means they may hold their shape a bit better when cooked or baked.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient fruit option for everyday meals and special occasions.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused apricot halves to a clean, airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within a few days to maintain their best quality and texture. Do not store them in the opened can.
