Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They do more than sweeten: they bind moisture, raise the boiling point and produce colour and crust. A jam sets and keeps because of sugar.

Where it catches you out

Each sugar browns at its own temperature. Sucrose at 160 °C, the fructose in honey and molasses at 110 — anything with honey burns sooner.

The knack

This profile is for sulphured dried apricots; verify sun-dried products and sulphite information separately on the label.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep airtight in a cool, dry, dark cupboard for 6 months; after opening, refrigerate for 6 months.

Gluten-free

The fruit in sulphured dried apricots is gluten-free; sulphite preservative is not gluten.

Allergen: SULPHITE

Glycaemic index

32 — glucose is taken as 100. Below 55 is low, 56–69 medium, 70 and above high. The number says nothing about portion: at the same index, twice the amount is twice the load.

The source table has a single study for this food. It is a real measurement, but it may not be typical: variety and ripeness move this number easily.

Row in the table: Apricots, dried, ready to eat, bite size (32+/-7)
