Meanwhile, while apricots can be stored at room temperature, it is better to store them in the refrigerator's fresh zone to prevent them from becoming soft.

To make apricot jam, a type of apricot dish, you only need 10 apricots, 5–6 spoons of sugar, and lemon juice. Wash the apricots in cold water containing half a teaspoon of vinegar, rinse them under running water, and pat them dry. After removing the pits, add 5–6 spoons of sugar and mash the apricots. Stir over medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Once the mixture thickens, add a little lemon juice and simmer gently until reduced.
