Sweet and slightly tangy, Shiloh Farms Turkish Apricots are great, chewy treat to be enjoyed right out of the bag! Their rich, apricot flavor will also make them a favorite for baking and cooking purposes. Unsulphered, unsweetened, and pitted*, these apricots are an excellent source of vital nutrients, including iron and Vitamin A.
More commonly found than California Apricots, Turkish varieties have a subtler flavor and less natural acidity. This makes them well-suited for baking and use in dishes where you want other flavors to have a starring role.
Directions
To Rehydrate: Simmer fruit in small amount of water or fruit juice approximately 15 minutes, or until tender. Alternately, soak in water or fruit juice in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Suggestions:
1. Dried apricots are often stewed alone or with other dried fruits and served for breakfast.
2. Finely dice Turkish Apricots and add to cereals (hot or cold) or yogurt.
3. They make a great side dish when cooked along with roasted chicken or lamb.
4. Chop and mix with rice or bread stuffing for poultry.
5. Add to rice, bulgur pilaf, or couscous.
6. Reconstituted apricots can be pureed and spooned over cake or frozen yogurt.
7. Consider dicing and adding them to winter fruit salads, trail mixes, cereals, and baked goods.

Toasted Spiced Couscous With Roasted Squash
- 1 medium delicata squash
- 2 Tbsp. avocado oil (divided)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup shallots (minced)
- 1 cup pearl couscous
- 1-3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp. fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1/3 cup dried tart cherries
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds (chopped or slivered)
- 3 cups kale (or arugula, finely chopped)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Wash delicata squash and slice in half lengthwise. Scrape out seeds and discard along with any fibrous flesh.
- Place cut side down on cutting board and slice squash into ½-inch slices to make half moons.
- Place squash into small bowl, add 1 Tbsp. avocado oil and ½ tsp. salt and toss to combine.
- Arrange squash on prepared sheet pan. Bake 15 minutes, flip slices over and continue baking additional 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- While squash roasts, in medium-sized saucepan, add oil and shallots, sauté 2-3 minutes until softened. Add couscous, toss with oil and sauté 2 minutes to toast lightly.
- Add vegetable broth, cinnamon stick and nutmeg. Bring to boil, turn heat to simmer, cover and cook 12 minutes.
- Remove lid from saucepan and add rosemary, cherries, ¼ cup of almonds and kale or arugula; toss to combine. Cover saucepan and cook 3-5 minutes until greens are wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve warm on a platter topped with delicata squash slices, remaining chopped nuts and a few rosemary sprigs.
Chef’s Tips:
• Use toasted pinenuts or walnuts instead of almonds, or omit nuts altogether.
• Use minced dried apricots or dried cranberries, instead of dried cherries.
