		Prunus armeniaca

SEASON: June and July.

LOOK FOR: Plump, juicy looking orange yellow fruit. Ripe apricots should yield to gentle pressure on the skin. Avoid dull looking, shriveled, or soft fruit.

TO STORE: Refrigerate apricots; use them within 2 to 3 days.

TO PREPARE: Wash apricots and cut in half to remove the pit; peel if desired. To prevent browning if apricots are not to be eaten immediately, sprinkle them with lemon juice.
