After the pulp is cooked, dry it to get preserved apricots.

3. Eating almonds tastes bitter. Before eating, you must scald it with boiling water and soak it in clear water. When soaking, change the water several times. After soaking, take off the yellow rough skin and there will be no bitterness. Peeled almonds can be fried or eaten raw. Note that the soaked water is toxic, and it will be fatal if drunk by mistake.
