Apricots from Porreres: Harvest Begins About Ten Days Earlier

Answer
How do I know if apricots are ripe when buying them at a Mallorca market?
A ripe apricot should give slightly when pressed, but it should not feel mushy. At Mallorca markets, that is often the easiest way to check whether the fruit is ready to eat or better suited for cooking. If the skin looks evenly coloured and the fruit smells fragrant, that is usually a good sign.
