apricots
Orange fuzzy drupes
Apricots are small, soft stone fruits with fuzzy orange-yellow skin and sweet flesh.
Related to peaches but smaller and slightly tart.
Fresh apricots bruise easily and don't travel well, so many people know them mainly dried or in jam.
We picked apricots from the tree in the backyard.
