Apricots crop well in our corner of paradise only once every 3-5 years. When spring frosts spare the blooms, the harvest is short and deliciously sweet. Try our fruit-forward beverage with spiced nuts and smoked cheeses or to accompany rich, creamy cheesecake. Or break all the rules and serve as an aperitif with jalapeño poppers or buffalo wings. Life is short; drink dessert first!
