I grew up with an apricot tree in my parents’ backyard, so I know what a real, perfectly ripe apricot is supposed to taste like. Store-bought apricots have always been a letdown—either underripe or overly mushy—and fully dried ones are usually tough and leathery. These half-dried apricots, though, are spot on. They’re soft with just the right amount of juiciness, and the flavor instantly takes me back to my childhood.

I almost hate to say how awesome are these half dried apricots! Like a "secret" restaurant, or a perfect vacation spot, everyone will now know how incredible they are, and I've already noticed they are in short supply sometimes. BUT, these apricots are "it!" So plump, soft, and the most flavorful dried apricots I've ever had... And I've been to Turkey! Please never stop carrying these. I order them all the way from Hawaii!
