dried apricot

The drying process for apricots; how to make dried apricots at home
When it is the season for apricots, you should thoroughly clean the fruit, then split it in half and remove the pit. Then, scatter them around a surface and dry them by exposing them to the sun or by drying them in an oven preheated to 90 degrees Celsius with the door cracked halfway until they are dry but still pliable.

Dried apricots can be used in the same manner as fresh ones, or they can be used after first being rehydrated by soaking them in hot water for at least two hours or heating them in the microwave for two minutes.
