These apricots are cultivated in Turkey where a mild climate and plenty of sunshine nurture the fruits and prod them into growing plump and sweet with touch of tang that makes a simply succulent jam. Organic fruit and cane sugar make this a fantastic choice for morning indulgence.

Pair with peanut butter, cream cheese, or yogurt. You can also try making a glaze for poultry and ham, for a salty-sweet meal, or bake up thumbprint butter cookies filled with luscious jam. Try spreading this between layers of pound cake, or simmering it down into a sauce to top custards and ice cream.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
