When the Season Offers Apricots -- Quand les abricots sont de saison
Red and Yellow, into Orange.
They simply inspired me to photograph them.
Perfect to the taste,
So juicy and sweet!
Their fate?
In a tart,
As is typical of me.
But you have to come back for this one.
Really!
I am addicted to how special it is.

Been away from reading blogs for a bit -- congratulations on all your pubs and the well deserved award! Yay you (and yay, apricots!)
S Sweet Pea ·
I just bought similar little tart tins and have been waiting to try them out - this will be just the thing. As it is the season ... I recently posted a recipe for 'apricot and rosemary' jam you might like :)

Why are they much more expensive than peaches for the past few seasons?
I have to admit I don't buy abricots very often.

Fresh apricots ... Never actually seen that -- I think. Odd, because I've always loved the dry ones, so one would think I bought them if I saw them. Got to go out and search.
Beautiful pictures, Bea.

I've never seen apricots quite like that, they look almost peachy. They're just beautiful. I definitely will come back to hear about the tart - there are plenty of apricots to be had lately and though I made (and blogged about) one apricot tart recently, I'm in search of another recipe.

Apricots! Such beautiful images. They really do this not only great looking, but also great tasting fruit justice. Tree-ripe, still warm from the sun, they are a great snack, cooked even more imature ones develop their magic fragrance. Yours look like the small-sized variety that is available here in Vienna, called Rosenmarillen (rose apricots). Rosenmarillen come from the Wachau Region, on the Danube, 40 miles west of Vienna. I like apricot tarts in any variety, best when combined with almonds in any form, or the apricot filled dumplings. I was looking for your tart recipe, but couldn't figure out where it is located. Will be back to look some more.

oh i know i'd love this tart - i made apricot jam with pistachios last year, a heavenly combination! and if something looks as good as your tartlets, how could anyone resist at all?
T Tartelette ·
Can't wait for the recipe Bea! I love apricots and I really can't find tasty ones here. Enjoy them!
L la voisine ·

L Lolotte ·
You should try the dessert from Mamina...I made it the other day (it's on my blog) and it is sooooooo good! I really like your tart too but I am not too difficult...
A Amy ·

Magnifiques photos! Tellement belles...
L Lydia ·
We are just getting fresh apricots in the farmers' markets now. I've been eating them like candy!
J joey ·
I'll definitely come back for the recipe! That looks terrific! :) Mmmm...
L Lauriana ·
Tes photos me laissent sans voix, c'est si évidemment beau!
L Lisanka ·
Tes photos sont à tomber par terre, franchement. Que de belles couleurs!
H Hillary ·
I'm not sure what is more gorgeous - the natural apricots, or the tart you made out of them! How is it that you take such great photographs too?! Looks delicious.
M mingoumango ·
Ah, l'abricot ! Un fruit absolument divin, mon préféré ! Tes photos sont alléchantes, comme toujours, mais quel dommage de cuire les abricots, qui sont si bons crus...
E Ellie ·
What beautiful photos! I abhor dried apricots, but the fresh fruit are so marvellous - and I love those tarts with fresh apricot and (I think) pistachio! Shall wait to see the recipe :)
A Anita ·
The last shot looks like flowers, Bea. You've captured the apricot so wonderfully!
F Figs Olives Wine ·
Bea, these photos are just stunning. You've inspired me to buys some apricots and try the tart myself. With pistachios? Why don't I buys fresh apricots more often? They really are lovely.
M mamina ·
Trop tout... trop beaux tes abricots et trop bonnes ces tartelettes.
V verO ·
Je trouve les abricots, et tous les fruits ronds en général, naturellement "photogéniques", voire parfois érotiques de part leurs formes et leurs couleurs.
Bien à toi

P pessy ·
have yet to see them in such beutiful color here in ny.
J Jerry ·
I have to say that, that bowl is cute. Too bad I can't get apricots at my farmer's market, but I got apples!
V veron ·
I'm coming back to see how these will turn out. Lovely photos of the apricot!
K Kat ·
I've never had fresh apricots, only dried. These tarts are gorgeous, Bea!
B bergeou ·
J'aime beaucoup les abricots et tes tartelettes sont si mignonnes

As a child we were blessed by a huge apricot tree sharing the boundary beween our house and the neighbours. They were sweet and blushed red like the ones in your picture. I purchased some from the greengrocer a week or so ago, but they were just palin orange, and very tart. I wish produce could be a touch riper when they harvest it.
