California Sun Dried Apricots – Fancy Ruby Royal
The Ruby Royal variety is a premium variety that is redder and has plumper flesh than standard apricots. The Ruby Royal apricots are washed, cut and pitted, then carefully laid on redwood drying trays, sulfured (for color retention and as a preservative), and laid in the California sun to dry. The Ruby Royals apricots are removed from the trays, sorted, cut, packaged, and stored. The Ruby Ruby Royals apricots used are grown locally in the California San Joaquin Valley and the sun drying process locks in the intense fruit flavors.
