Sqirl - Blenheim Apricot Jam

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 we gently gather these beautiful rosy-golden babes from either Mike Cirone at Canyon Ranch or from Andy's Orchards and can as much as well can before they return to the grand Mother Earth!

Ingredients: Blenheim apricot, *Wholesome Sweetener cane sugar, *lemon juice. *Certified organic.
