How to use leftover dried apricots

  • Sweet stuffing. Mix chopped dried apricots with finely chopped garlic, fresh breadcrumbs, and chopped fresh rosemary and thyme leaves. Add a beaten egg to bind, season well, then use to stuff a pork loin. Roll up, tie with string and roast.
  • Fruity chicken. Stir dried apricots, wholegrain mustard and double cream into chicken stock, then add to the pan to braise chicken breasts or thighs.
