The perks? The Pillow Gifts! For the product research of course . . .
Each evening on our recent IFWTWA "Conference at Sea," aboard the ms Oosterdam, we would return to our cabin to find another delightful surprise on our pillows!
While waiting for my flight home in San Diego I had time to enjoy some of my goodies. The Whole Dried Peach Wedges from Stoneridge Orchards became one of my favorites as soon as I opened the package. Ok, I come from the land of fruits and nuts-literally (Oregon) so I know good fruit, but popping one of these slices into your mouth becomes a revelation. They taste like peaches! Not desiccant. Rich, ripe peaches. And you can't stop eating them. . .
As the back of the packages states, Stoneridge Orchards a Skylar/Haley product, brings you "the best tasting, all natural gourmet dried fruit and berries that nature has to offer." They also produce dried cranberries,and berry products sourced right here in the Pacific Northwest.
I checked their website at www.stoneridgeorchards.com and the dried fruit is available at Wegman's, Costco, Sam's Clubs, Albertson's and BJ's Club among others. I encourage you to pick some up. The taste and quality are that different. It smells like concentrated fruit. A perfect, healthy snack and I'm hooked.
I settled into my airplane seat and savored another wedge. If a peach can be described as having a perfumed odour - I'll have to say this dried fruit does.
Yummy research all the way to Portland. What a great job I have!

Well Michelle, we are on the same track. We saved ours for the plane. Norm had the peaches and I had the cherries. They were fantastic. My plan was to eat a few and bring home to my son, but, they didn't make it past the airport.
