NEW! B&R Farms Dried Blenheim Apricots
We're only going to make this suggestion once...please order more than one bag.
One simply will not be enough.
B & R Farms in Hollister, CA has been growing the Blenheim apricot for 75 years - it's the business of the Rossi family and they take their craft very seriously.
Blenheim apricot cultivation has dipped 90% since the late 1980s - its slow ripening, small size and fragile nature pushed it out of the supermarkets. As one of the few remaining growers of this iconic and incredibly delicious fruit, they've made it their mission to grow and dry the best possible.
B & R dries their apricots for seven days in the heat of the mid-summer sun. Over the course of that week, the apricots shed 85% of their weight...it takes six pounds of fresh apricots to make one pound of dried. What you'll get is a product with a strong honey-like flavor - chewy and sweet, the Blenheims from B & R Farms are without a doubt the best dried fruit we've ever tasted.
Blenheims are great for baking - chopped and folded into scone or cake batter and cookie dough, layered into tarts or pies or mixed into bread puddings. They're also great tossed into salads, used for sauces with pork or duck, stirred into rice pilaf and folded into stuffings. And we simply cannot stop snacking on them. There are other dried apricots out there, but once you taste these, you'll never go back.
