Market Pick: CandyCots

Oh they really do taste as sweet as candy.

What: CandyCot apricots, two varieties this year: Yuliya and Anya
Where: Ferry Building Farmer’s Market or click here for other retailers

 

These apricots are so good. It’s a shame the selling season is so short. I like the Anya variety which is a little softer in texture.Yuliya has a bit of a crunch to it, not like an apple, but its just a little firmer. If you have a chance to find CandyCot, pick up a box before they’re gone for the year.

I first discovered CandyCot in 2010. I mean how could you not stop by the booth with these cute crates with apricots nestled inside? I’m sure that was expensive packaging so it’s now covered plastic, which is better for transporting.
