Fruity

I eat dried apricots as though they were Oreo cookies; sometimes I bite right into them, a sweet, tangy yielding morsel. Other times I’ll take my thumbs and edge the two halves apart, roll one half between my fingers and nibble away. Still other times I will worry the edges with my teeth and pull the apricot apart, my fingers sticky from holding it. The dried fruit has so much more depth and texture than when the fruit is juicy fresh. Dried blueberries are similar but I find the way fresh berries sweet pop over the tongue wins every time.
