Blenheim apricots are picked off the trees at the perfect ripe stage, cut into halves, and then dried in the sun. This process helps ensure that the apricots maintain their vitamins and minerals. The Blenheim is the best variety of apricot for drying due to its high content of natural sugar - which is evident in its taste and vibrant orange color. Hollister offers an ideal climate for growing Blenheims; the mild summer temperatures allow this heat-sensitive and increasingly rare variety of apricots to thrive!
