Dry-farmed apricots


If you find dry-farmed apricots, snap them up.

Dry-farmed apricots are grown with minimal additional water, generally just the winter rains. So as the fruit is ripening, the flavor and sweetness get concentrated in the tissues. They actually taste of apricots, rather than the overly-plump and flavorless apricots that are commonly available.

I found some of these wonderful apricots at the Flora Bella stand at the Hollywood Farmers Market yesterday, and we ate them for breakfast with some sweet strawberries from Finley Farms.

Wow.
