Why are dried apricots nowadays all actually semi dried, or indeed wet? These are proper dried apricots as they used to be, not dried like leather, just dried to be nice to chew, not sloppy wet halfway dried. The fact that they aren't unsulphured is also really unusual, you used to be able to get these quite easily, but it's rare nowadays. Eventually these are superior to all the stuff you find in the usual stores, flavour and texture are fabulous, sweet enough, but tart enough, chewy enough, but not leathery. Sure, they're not bright orange, but that's just a reality, rather than something kept artificially bright by the addition of sulphur. No one complains that sultanas, currants and raisins are not bright green or red like the grapes before they were dried. It's a natural feature and a 'badge of pride'. The only problem with them is that they're so good you'll snack and snack and snack..... You'll enjoy them.

as dried apricots should be

Sweet enough but not v tasty.

Juicy and full of flavour. Not hard and chewy like some other brands.

The product photo for these apricots, at time of writing, avoids showing the packaging- which is probably a good idea, as the shiny blue box with rather cheap-looking label certainly isn’t the kind of appetising-looking product you would be drawn to on a supermarket shelf.Unfortunately, the apricots inside are not very attractive-looking either. They have a brown, mud-like appearance and the bag contains quite a lot of odd shapes and uneven blobs. If you’re thinking of using them in cooking that will put them on display (even just sprinkling them onto rice pudding) then their ugliness might be a little on the offputting side, if that matters to you.Flavour-wise, they are OK. They have a fairly straight apricot flavour that ticks the boxes, but unfortunately I find them a little bit on the dry side. Compared to dried apricots from other brands, these end up being a little over-chewy and rubbery, and unfortunately the flavour doesn’t seem to last quite as long as the chewing process.If you’ll be chopping these finely or hiding them in other cooking, they will work as a functional, slightly joyless bulk buy ingredient. But if they’re intended to liven up a salad or look pretty on top of a dessert, unfortunately they’re not up to spec.
