Ärende: APRICOTS!! OHMY! 70627
==============================
 -=> Quoting Hap Newsom to Glen Jamieson <=-

Hello Hap,

 ->  HN> California's Central Valley! So even here in the "Big Demographic"
 ->  HN> can still find Solar drying being used in a commercial setting!
 -> 
 -> See, there are sensible people in California!  As the Southern part of
 -> that state is about the same latitude as Adelaide, and they are both on
 -> a West coast, their climates should be similar, so crops and methods of
 -> processing should work the same.  Also a reference here to "Sunset"; is
 -> that a magazine intended for people approaching the "sunset" of their
 -> lives, or one for people living on the West Coast?
 -> 
 HN> Sunset magazine "the magazine of western living" (grin)
 HN> (www.sunset.com/sunset ), is one of our favorite magazines and we've
 HN> subscribed to it since the 1970's. Full of cooking ideas, topical
 HN> travel ideas (for the west and beyond) and just an all around good
 HN> read. In fact this month you might find some good info on the website
 HN> about drought gardening, and some nice looking apricot recipes as well!

I have written down that address, and will look it up later, when I
next connect to the I'net.  I hope to see some of the West Coast soon,
but somewhat further South from there, at Los Mochis.  The train trip
to there, along the Copper Canyon from Chihuahua should be interesting.
 
 -> I have never come across "apricot muscat", but,
 -> 
 HN> I've had it, too sweet, My Anne likes it a lot....but she'd like HFCS
 HN> if it was bottled nicely (grin)

Careful, she might hear you!   I vaguely recall "apricot brandy" from
the days of mis-spent youth...
