Apricots left soaking

[BuffyFairy]

I've had apricots soaking on water for a week in the fridge. Can I still use them? They're for a flapjack recipe. Was only meant to soak them for an hour but didn't get round to making the flapjacks!

I wouldn't. They must be fermenting by now!

They do look and smell ok. I think you're right though. Must read recipes properly. Always seem to skip the bit that says soak or marinade for so long before you start

Even if they are fermenting a little, I think I would use them. You are cooking them, so that should kill anything.
