What is Apricot Honey?

Apricot honey is an unadulterated honey, from a bee hive and is made when the bees collect pollen from apricot flowers and thus produce a honey that tastes like the flower and fruit. The color is a dark golden or light brown and the texture is viscous and sticky with a floral and fruity sweet taste.

What does Apricot Honey Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Ingredients

honey

Honey is made by the honey bee. The bees collect flower nectar and then deposit it into the honeycombs in the beehive. Once inside the honeycomb, the nectar breaks down into simple sugars. Evaporation via the fanning of the bees wings and the shape of the honeycomb helps excess liquid to evaporate, creating the sweet syrup that is used around the world. Honey is an amber color that can vary from pale yellow to dark brown. The texture is of an extra thick syrup. All honey is sweet, but the flavor can change considerably from floral to herbal and even nutty, depending on the flowers that the bees collected honey from. Honey is used in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as in tea as a sweetener.

dried apricots

Dried apricots are dried from the fresh fruit. When fresh, the apricot is juicy, with a slightly fuzzy skin. Dried apricots are oblong, wrinkled and less than 1 inch across and roughly 1 inch in length. These dried fruits have a small indent in their middle. They are often an apricot color; a golden peachy tone. Sulfur dioxide is responsible for the apricots maintaining their color, though it does take away from the sweetness of the fruit. This compound is added during the drying process. Some apricots are dried without preservatives and these are brown and very sweet, with a slightly tart edge.
