Blenheim Apricot Fruit Spread

Notes: Orchard-sweet, honey-like, royal.

About the Fruit: Blenheim’s hail from Europe about 200 years ago, flourishing in the garden at Blenheim Palace in England (birthplace of Winston Churchill!); they became U.S. imports in the 1880’s, arriving in California and spiking in production during WWI until a halting of imported dried fruit from Europe mobilized Sacramento and Santa Clara valleys to begin growing hefty amounts of them. 

Origins: Once Blenheim’s are off the tree, they start to disintegrate! So Squirl gently gathers these beautiful rosy-golden babes from either Mike Cirone at Canyon Ranch or Andy's Orchard and can as much as well can before they return to the grand Mother Earth!

Ingredients: Dry-farmed Blenheim apricot, *cane sugar, *Sorrento lemon juice
