The apricot is a fruit of ancient lineage that has been grown in China for over 4,000 years. It now thrives in most temperate climates, including that of Australia, which produces some of the world’s finest apricots. These apricots are very large in size and have been candied in sugar syrup to become glacé apricots. The sweet, rich apricots are then dipped in chocolate. This wooden crate holds about a pound of Australian Glacé Apricots that have been dipped in white, milk, and dark chocolates. They make a luxurious dessert or an enviable gift that is both delicious and elegant.
