:: HARVEST UPDATE!!!!

June 29, 2009 ~
Almost here....the hot weekend brought on some beautiful ripe apricots. We'll have enough for the markets on 06/30/2009. So, I guess we could officially say the fresh Blenheim apricots are ready! However, it will be a couple of weeks before the new harvest of dried apricots will be ready for shipment.

If you are interested in reserving fresh Blenheim apricots, please call us at 831-637-1938. Boxes are approximately 20 - 22 pounds and sell for $50/box. Cash or check only, please.

Fresh apricots can be picked up at the ranch or at any of the Farmers Markets we attend. Due to the nature of the product, we do not ship fresh apricots.

Baked Brie and Apricot en Croute

Recipe from Peggy Finnegan

This recipe is an easy appetizer that you can bake just before guests arrive.

Ingredients:

♦ Puff pastry

♦ Wheel of brie cheese, rind intact

♦ Apricot King Apricot Jam

♦ Egg wash (1 egg white and 1 tbsp. water, mixed

Directions:

1) Thaw a sheet of puff pastry. Pepperidge Farm makes a good one. Roll out gently on a floured surface.

2) Top pastry sheet with a thick layer of jam approximately the same size and shape of the brie wheel.

3) Place the brie on top of the jam. Trim the pastry edges, fold over brie, and secure edges.

4) Brush the top with egg wash.

5) Bake seam side down at 400 degrees for about 20 - 30 minutes or until golden brown.

6) Let sit for 10 minutes before serving with crackers. So yummy!
