• How many grams in a teaspoon of dried, sliced apricots?
  A level teaspoon of finely minced dried apricots weighs 2.7 g, derived from the 128 g per cup spoon-and-level figure. At teaspoon scale you must mince — whole slices won't pack in honestly. Aim for pieces no bigger than a peppercorn so the spoon fills evenly and the fruit disperses through whatever you're folding it into.
• How much minced apricot goes into a single chocolate truffle?
  Half a teaspoon of very finely minced dried apricot — about 1.4 g — gives a 15 g dark chocolate truffle a tart, chewy thread without compromising the ganache texture. Roll the mince into the centre or fold it through the warm cream stage. Any larger and the apricot fights the chocolate for the palate instead of accenting it.
• How much apricot belongs in a tagine spice mix?
  For a small jar of tagine seasoning — roughly 4 tablespoons of dried spices — 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced dried apricot, 2.7 to 5.4 g, dries the fruit into the blend without making it sticky. Mince first, then dehydrate briefly at low heat if the apricots feel tacky. The apricot rounds the cumin and ras el hanout edges.
