About Apricots, canned, heavy syrup, drained

The fruit itself becomes very soft, with a mild, sweet flavor that lacks the tartness of fresh apricots. Some fiber remains after draining. They work well in baked goods, alongside ham or chicken, or chopped into a grain salad where you want a soft, sweet accent without using fresh fruit.
