Fruit Update
Just a reminder to all those coming for PYO Moorparks, which starts this coming Saturday, to bring your own containers, whether they be shopping bags, laundry baskets or fish crates – our scales can manage all of these ??
There are still PYO Roxburgh Red apricots and these may be still available on Saturday if you can’t get up till then.
PYO Stevens Favourite apricots are still on track for next Tuesday.
?
If you aren’t into preserving apricots, there is another method which is really simple.
Just half the apricots and pop them into freezer bags ?
But always remember to cook from frozen, never let a bag thaw or they will be a brown mess.
You can also cook a stock pot full of apricots and when cool, put a cup of apricots into each freezer bag. No need for further cooking after they thaw. ?
Stewed apricots are lovely with yoghurt, ice cream, muesli and other breakfast cereals
They are also delicious when making apricot muffins, crumbles etc.
Report up at the Fruit Stall when you arrive for PYO and Mum,(Sandra) or I will point you in the right direction to the apricot of your choice ?
We have an amazing crop of Moorparks so plenty for everyone ?

Fruit Update
PYO Roxburgh Red apricots are still available.
PYO Moorparks commences this coming Saturday 22 January. We have a great crop ???
PYO Nectarines has been cancelled – we only had a small crop this Season, due to adverse weather conditions during Spring, but we had assumed there would be enough but sadly we were wrong. Sorry about this!
