While apricot recipes are in their prime during summer, Italians enjoy its flavor year-round as it's one of the classic marmellata (jam) options for a breakfast brioche filling – lampone (raspberry) is the other.
As the season for enjoying this sweet, tart stone fruit reaches its peak, we couldn't resist combing through our archives to share ten apricot recipes for you to try at home. Crostata iterations – such as the apricot cream and almond version pictured above – abound so most of the recipes of sweet, but we did throw in a few savory ideas for good measure including a schiacciata (crispy flatbread) topping, a stuffing for mussels, and a compost served alongside merluzzo, or cod.
