This is no ordinary fruit spread; this is a jar jam-packed with the rare and delicate Blenheim apricot. Tart on the outside, sweet on the inside, this fruit is freshly picked from B&R Farms California orchard, sun-dried, and then mixed with lemon juice and sugar. The spread tastes like this juicy apricot frozen in its moment of ripe perfection. This family-crafted recipe spreads flavor onto everything from yogurt to toast—we love it with creamy fresh robiola.

“A great breakfast helps kick off the day. This apricot spread will become a morning staple, whether spreading it on a muffin or mixing it in Greek yogurt with granola.”

Blenheim apricots have become increasingly rare for a number of reasons: they have a very short harvesting season (sometimes as few as 10 days), they are very sensitive to disease and sun exposure, and their fragility makes transport difficult.
Making the spread from dried and not fresh apricots concentrates the flavor and intensity of the fruit.
This is a welcome burst of fruit flavor anywhere you’d use a jam, but it also makes an amazing glaze for roast chicken.

Since 1929, the family-owned and operated B&R farms has specialized in the production and harvesting of Blenheim Apricots.
The Hollister, California facility originally started as an orchard for a wide variety of fruits, and has since grown into a 40-acre stretch that grows Blenheim Apricots exclusively.
Jim and Mari Rossi, along with their son Brian and their dedicated staff, tend to the fruit.
The peak harvest time for Blenheim Apricots occurs in mid-summer and is known for its brevity—sometimes as short as ten days.
As it ripens, it’s also subject to the whims of nature—including disease and sunburn.
The Rossi family and their orchard team are tasked with the grading, sorting, packaging and cool storage of the apricots.
B&R Farms was started by Jim’s grandparents, Frank and Mary, and subsequently operated by his parents, Emil and Elsie, before he and his family took over operations.
Beyond dried Blenheims, they offer an array of apricot products including preserves, purees, and chocolates.
