What Are Canned Apricots?

Apricots, along with apples and pears, are members of the Rosaceae family that are in season from May through July. Apricots are great for light snacking but can also be used for cooking and baking. Canned apricots are one of the best ways to enjoy this fruit all year round. Our apricots at the Hunts Point Market can be canned as unpeeled halves or whole fruits. Canned apricots have a much fuller flavor since they are left to ripen longer and naturally develop more flavor.
