Rehydrated Apricots
Canned apricots are expensive and while fresh ones are ok in season, sometimes they’re not picked when ripe and don’t have much flavor. Dried apricots do have a more intense flavor and are available year-round. Once they’re rehydrated, you can add a couple to hot cereal as a fruit sweetener, eat 3 or 4 for a snack, or make a quick dessert by adding ¼ cup ice cream.
