| definition: |
An apricot is a soft, round fruit with fuzzy skin. Its color is light orange, sometimes with a bit of pink in it. Apricots look similar to peaches, but they are smaller and taste a little different. Apricots are often made into jam.
Many people like "dried apricots." To produce a dried apricot, the fruit's skin, its pit, and most of its moisture are removed. What's left is a flat, chewy, orange fruit that is quite sweet and a little sour. |
