Yes, apricots would be right.  "aluariquoques" = "alvariquoques" =
"albaricoques".

Welcome to the wonderful world of archaic Spanish spelling.  The
"Arte de Cortar", which is a century and a half older than Granado,
is far worse.  "Figado" for "higado" (liver), and "rraçilmente" for
"facilmente" (easily).
