Apricots are here for a good time, not a long time. “We’re eating some really good Victorian ones at the moment, then towards the end of this month we’ll get into the Tasmanian ones,” says Graham Gee, senior buyer at the Happy Apple in Melbourne.
He’s selling them for $5 to $8 a kilo, depending on variety; his favourite is the Moorpark apricot. “They’re not the most beautiful to look at,” he says. “But the flavour is so rich.”
