For those of you who don't know, an aprium is a sweet late spring and early summer stone fruit that is 75% apricot and 25% plum. Its natural sweetness makes it the perfect fruit to use in desserts, preserves, salads, or, like in this case, in an ice cream-less milkshake. Apriums look like apricots, except for their smooth skin (like a plum). Handle them with care to avoid bruises; and if you buy them unripe, keep them in a paper bag until they become soft enough to eat. Once they are ripe, keep them refrigerated, search for a few good aprium recipes, and enjoy! MORE + LESS -

Expert Tips

You can soak the dried apricots for an hour or overnight to make the blending process easier.
If you want, you can leave the dried apricots out of this recipe (it will be slightly less sweet, but still sweet enough).
