Tree ripened bounty from Hawkes Bay

We made a hasty road trip to Hawkes Bay over the weekend for a pre-Christmas visit to the eldest member of my husband’s family.
Hastings was always known as “The Fruit Bowl of New Zealand” when I was growing up.

I’m not sure whether that description and sign is still used but these tree ripened apricots and cherries certainly remind my taste buds that fine fruit comes from Hastings.

We purchased these treats from “Kirstens” on Longlands Rd, Hastings. Her stall is just a little off the State Highway into Hastings as you travel from the south. She encourages a taste before you buy. You will not be disappointed.
