The tree on which the san Domingo apricot or mamey grows.

Abricotine is the French for apricot plum. It also means a liqueur made from the fruit.
An apricot and brandy liqueur made by several producers. It has a Swiss AOC (not French) dating from 2003.
Apricot halves poached, cooled and served on a macaroon with ice cream, Chantilly cream and hazelnut praline.
Apricot halves poached, put into tartlet moulds with kirsch-flavoured jelly and then served with red currant jelly and anisette-flavoured jelly.
Apricots preserved by placing the uncooked fruit in jars with sugar and water; the jars are then sealed (just like Kilner jars) placed in a stérilisateur, covered with water and then brought to the boil and simmered for a long time to sterilise the jars and cook the apricots. The temperature control and the timing is dictated by the type of fruit or vegetable.
