A box of golden Central Otago apricots arrived on the doorstep this week, and we were again transported to the Cromwell roadside stall.  This delivery represented that region so well.  Apricots grow best in areas of cool winters, hot dry summers with plenty of sunshine hours and low humidity.  And Central certainly provides this environment.

Apricots are perfect for drying, preserving and bottling, for future months.  But there’s a super easy delicious way to enjoy them right now too.
