Not traveling during this time is hard! I live for seeing new things and experiencing new cultures. To pacify this I have been wandering around my local international markets and bakeries to learn about different flavors a bit more than usual. Recently, I visited an eclectic local market that specializes in Asian, Latino and Russian food.
I saw this beautiful package and I was drawn to the description - Dried Apricot Sheets. We took them home and tried it out - the flavor was a very nice sweet tangy apricot. The olive oil grounds the tanginess of the apricot. It is a thick, slightly soft fruit leather. The color is lovely. My kids love snacking on it.
Researching this, I found a ton of uses -
- Snacking
- Soak in water to create juice
- Apricot sorbet
- Addition to a cheese board
- Heat with a little water to create a Apricot glaze
- Apricot Curd
Thank you to the wonderful website - Taste of Beirut - where I learned a lot about this delicacy. Check it out: https://www.tasteofbeirut.com/amardeen/
