Dried Blenheim Apricots from B&R Farms

A Variety Prized for Flavor & Versatility

B & R Farms dries their California-grown Blenheim apricots for seven days in the heat of the mid-summer sun to yield chewy, sweet fruit with a strong honey-like flavor. Dried Blenheims are fantastic for baking, whether chopped and folded into scone batter, cookie dough or cake batter, layered into a tart or pie, or mixed into bread pudding. But these dried apricots are also great tossed into salads, used in sauces for pork or duck, stirred into rice pilaf and folded into stuffing.

The Rossi family of B & R Farms in Hollister, CA has been growing Blenheim apricots for 75 years. Although the slow ripening, small size and fragile nature of these special apricots have made them a rarity in the market, the Rossis have made it their mission to preserve this iconic and incredibly delicious fruit.
