They're good when they're nice and ripe. If you eat them when they're still even a little tiny bit on the hard side, they literally taste like water :v
But yeah, I do like them. Now that they're in season I eat a couple almost every day.
apricots are great! they taste very s8milar to peaches, except they have a smooth skin instead of a fuzzy one and they're smaller, of course. and in addition to apricot jam, and dried apricots, there's also apricot brandy which is awesome!
(and oh yeah, i pronounce it with a short "a" as in the word 'cat').
