Apricot Preserves

Unopened jars can be stored at room temperature until the best-by date. Once opened, refrigerate and use within about a month.

Warm preserves slightly to make them easier to spread or glaze.

Use as a filling for pastries, tarts, or thumbprint cookies.

Stir into yogurt or oatmeal for a fruity breakfast.

Brush onto grilled meats or poultry during the last few minutes of cooking for a sweet glaze.

Overheating preserves when making glazes, which can cause them to become too thick or burn.

Assuming that all apricot preserves are the same; check sugar content as it can vary significantly.
