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 apricots burst with the beautiful California sunshine color and maintain their vitamins and minerals. Hollister possesses an ideal climate for the best variety of apricot for drying, primarily because of its high content of natural sugar as evidenced by its bright orange color and sweet taste.
