I lived in Davis, CA for two years and enjoyed the dried fruits available at the farmer's market often! Apricots and peaches being my favorite. When I moved away from CA, I tried to settle for the supermarket Turkish dried apricots and could not stand them! I couldn't figure out what was different until I stumbled across a description of Blenheim dried apricots. It's so hard to get them out of the state of CA! I found a grower that I loved and ordered some from them on sale with reduced shipping, but after that the prices were too expensive for a poor graduate student. These are a PERFECT fit for me. They are cheap, accessible, and delicious! I highly recommend trying Blenheim apricots, they are a different experience altogether! I LOVE them so much! I will be ordering these regularly as long as they are available!

I have been lucky to enjoy Blenheims all my life. In fact I just made a few huge batches of jam with them. Fresh, dried, canned, or jammed. This is the BEST apricot variety out there. Everyone should try them at least once. You will never go back to those HORRIBLE Turkish apricots.

I'm a bit of an apricot snob after my first taste of Blenheim variety apricots from Trader Joe's. However, we don't live near a TJ, so I decided to try these till we made another trip. They taste just as good. I'm an Amazon Prime member and so these seemed to take longer to ship than everything else I order from Amazon. But, they were worth the wait.

Excellent product, apricots were moist and very tasty. These are hard to find in MI. Would order again but need a larger amount this time!

These apricots are wonderful whole, plump, sweet, soft apricots. However, they are not tart like the Sunmaid California or Del Monte Pacific dried apricots which I prefer. These are closer in flavor (but better) to the Turkish/Mediterranean style dried apricots. There is no question that this is a high quality product.

**UPDATE** After receiving my order I must edit this review. These are NOT the whole dried apricots I used to get from JR Mushrooms. These are apricot halves and not nearly as good. I am very disappointed. I won't be ordering these again until I find out what happened to the "whole" dried apricots that I used to get.

JR Mushrooms has the best dried apricots hands down. I once forgot where I had ordered the good ones and ordered some from somewhere else--they were not good at all compared to these. These are so sweet, tart, and tangy and delicious. I chop them up in cereal or just eat them as a snack with or without some raw walnuts or almonds. Soooo good!
