Apricot

A creamy fool is one of the easiest and most delicious desserts to make. Tangy roasted apricots add some extra zing.

Tangy apricots, coconut, and a rich caramel-like batter is an excellent combination, especially with a crunchy crumble topping.

This vibrant apricot and orange-blossom jam goes perfectly with ricotta on buttered sourdough.

Scorched apricots, torn jamón, shaved Manchego and peppery rocket leaves make for a light and tasty salad.

Frangipane tarts are classic for good reason - the almondy filling is the perfect foil for all kinds of fruit, but this pairing with apricots is particularly good.

Apricot chicken may sound retro, but it still tastes great in this take on a classic biryani.
