Apricot + White currant
Not a natural pairing: they share little aroma and few recipes use both, which puts them in the top 28% of all ingredient pairs.
Do apricot and white currant go together?
Not really. 3 recipes in our collection combine them, and they share 18 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 28% of every ingredient pair we score.
What they have in common
More than half of white currant's flavor molecules (18 of 35) also occur in apricot. Among the shared key aromas are isoamyl acetate (banana, pear) and alpha-pinene (pine, turpentine). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
