      Heera Dry Apricots are whole, sun-coloured dried apricots with the stone in, the round, wrinkled kind sold across India and Pakistan as khubani. They are chewier and more honeyed than the soft, flat apricots found in most supermarkets, and they swell back to a plump, jammy fruit when soaked or poached. This 250g bag from P&B Foods is a handy size for festive sweets and for snacking.

      How to use it

      For khubani ka meetha, soak 250g of apricots overnight in water, then simmer them in the same water with 100g of sugar for about thirty minutes until soft. Lift out the stones, crack a few to use the kernels as a garnish, and cook the fruit down to a thick, glossy compote. Serve chilled with cream or custard after a Diwali meal. The apricots can also be chopped into trail mix, stirred into kheer or eaten straight from the bag.
