Apricot paste is a very concentrated apricot puree, thicker than fruit leather but not as gelled or sweet as jelly candies. Apricot paste can be added to your morning breakfast meals such as oatmeal, pancakes, and smoothies. When making marinades or dressings, adding a tropical fruit paste to your recipe makes it Asian-inspired for your vegetables, stir-fry, grains and even chutneys
