Puree the apricots by rubbing them through a fine sieve or food mill set over a bowl, or pulverize them in the jar of an electric blender. With a rubber spatula scrape them into a bowl. Add the vinegar, sugar, honey, paprika and salt and beat vigorously with a spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Marinating is good for flavouring and tenderising your chicken at the same time. It's best to marinate your chicken overnight to give the flavours plenty of time to infuse. A faster way to add flavour is to simply brine your chicken in salty water prior to cooking.
Fresh or dried, apricots are easy to add to yogurt, salads, and main meals. If you're used to eating peaches and plums, apricots can be a great way to change up your routine.
The routine addition of citric and ascorbic acid to fruit prior to freezing resulted in significantly higher antioxidants, vitamin C, and phenols. Consumers eating canned or frozen apricots can feel confident of similar or superior nutritional content as compared to fresh apricots.
Spices: Garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and cumin add savoriness and flavor to the chicken. Spices like paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and Cajun seasoning add heat and smokiness to the chicken.
Make sure your chicken breast is well-seasoned before adding it to the pan. Cook each side evenly until brown. Once done, bake the chicken breast in a pre-heated oven until juices run clear. The crispy skin from the sear will help keep juices intact while baking cooks the insides through without drying them out.
On the other hand, berries, particularly strawberries and raspberries, bring out apricot's natural sweetness, creating a flavor profile that's sweet and slightly wild. For a touch of exotic flair, pair apricot with tropical fruits like mango or passionfruit.
The apricot season typically spans from late spring to early summer, depending on the region and variety. In temperate regions, late May to July is often the best time to enjoy fresh apricots.
Dried apricots are rich in iron, potassium, vitamins A and E, and fiber, but drying may cause nutrient loss. Soaking them in water softens and revives their flavor while reducing sulfur dioxide levels. Use filtered water, avoid oversoaking, and store in the fridge for freshness.
Apricots. Apricots contain 3.2 grams of sugar, 3.8 grams of carbs, and 0.7 grams of fiber per small apricot. Apricots are available fresh in spring and early summer. You can enjoy this low-sugar fruit whole, skin and all.
Yes, apricots are good for you and come with a range of health benefits. As well as being low in calories, apricots are a great source of antioxidants, including beta carotene, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C.
So you can imagine how we responded to discovering that perhaps one of McDonald's most sought-after sauces: sweet and sour, was made with... (prepare yourselves) apricots. No – really, it's not pineapple, it's not mango.It's apricot.
Peaches and apricots are two different species, but they're both stone fruits, members of the genus Prunus, which means they have a rock-hard pit in the center, along with a few other similarities. 1 Both have velvety skins, although peaches are more often fuzzy (and fuzzier) than most apricots.
