Gratitude, an Announcement & an Apricot Tarte Tatin

Firstly My Sincere Gratitude:
Please know that I’m immensely humbled and grateful once again for the most gracious, amazing comments you left me on my previous post and in celebrating my blog’s 4th anniversary, here, throughout the bloggersphere, facebook, twitter and through emails.
Thank you all, each and every one of you, your constant unfailing support and encouragement are so very dear to me.

Now to the announcement:
You may already know, or may have already guessed. Especially as I’m not the first to let the cat out of the bag.
I, myself along with 3 of my most favourite and talented blogging sisters, Ilva from Lucullian Delights whom I have great admiration for. Jeanne, my amiable Cooksister who never fails to bring a smile ear to ear and my beloved close neighbour Nanette, Ms Gourmet Worrier from across the Tasman…

have a new baby! Her name is Between Hemispheres.

In a nutshell she is a photo blog, where we four “chicas” share seasonal images between hemispheres.
Jeanne explains it best in three lines…

four photos…
from two hemispheres…
interpreting one theme.

Naturally a blog isn’t much of a blog without an audience and although we’ve been gradually building up over the last couple of weeks, it’s now time to send out a proper invitation. We would dearly love to have you visit Between Hemispheres and drop by often. Each week we have a new theme - this weeks being “Sky” and I’m rostered to post mine on Thursday, we think we’re pretty hot stuff so you can also find us on twitter and fan our flames on facebook.

No I haven’t forgotten the Apricot Tarte Tatin!
I scored myself a 10kg box of the most gorgeous little Moorpark Central Otago Apricots on the weekend and the fairies, J and I have been enjoying many of them straight out of the box. I also preserved a couple of kilos and made 4 big jars of jam with some of them today. Yet, tonight I still could not resist turning some into a little dessert.
Unfortunately as I desperately wanted to get this post up tonight before I slipped into an Apricot coma, means you will sadly have to wait another time for the recipe.
Forgive me!

  1. Between Hemispheres … a celebration of some of the best from some of the best! Congratulations Bron, Jeanne & Betty (Nanette? am I right? Non?). Love to see what 3 of my fave bloggers post across seasons.
    Those apricot shots are seriously gorgeous Bron! Pity about the Apricot coma… hope you’re out of it by the time summer & stone fruits reach our spot on the globe!

  10. I know I’ve wished you good luck on this in an email, but it can’t hurt to say it again. Good luck. I’m sure you will have lots of fun with the chicas - all wonderful women.

    Beautiful apricots too. Central Otago maybe? I saw them in the shops here last week for $15 a kilo.

  14. I’m late in offering my congratulations on your years of blogging but hey, saying nice things is timeless. Here’s to many more. Now I’m off to visit Between Hemispheres.

  15. those apricots looked really lovely, I have made 3×6lbs of spicy apricot sauce,as I dont like watties tomato sauce, thank goodness we live in an area that we can get fruit reasonably cheap. I paid on average $3:00-$4:00 per kg

  16. I am sooooo envious of the apricot mountain… That’s one of the things you seldom get here in the UK - good apricots. When I go home, you usually find me in the produce aisle of the supermarket fondling the plump apricots!!

    Jeanne @ Cooksister — Wednesday 24th February 2010 3:07 am

  17. I’ve just come across your blog through MacTweets… Your recipes and photography are absolutely amazing…inspiring!

    Cristina @ TeenieCakes — Wednesday 3rd March 2010 5:09 am

  18. What a wonderful idea. I love it. It’s such a beautiful idea. The best bit for me (after the stunning photographs!), is to be reminded how small our world is with this new blog.

    Julia @ Mélanger — Wednesday 24th March 2010 10:09 am

  19. You capture so many senses in your photos. Love it.

    Joanne — Thursday 25th March 2010 9:25 am

  20. mmmh… i am missing apricots! you know, i am craving them not just because we’re still caught up in what feels like deep winter around here, it’s also that i grew up with the TASTIEST of apricots (from the Wachau or Hungary) and nothing, absolutely nothing i can buy here comes even close to those in taste… so i envy you, big time, and am tempted to lick the screen (if past experience didn’t tell me that’s futile) ;-)

  21. Love your tarte; in Lebanon the apricot season is very short, so most people make apricot jam at home; I made it using sun power. Love your photography, you are very talented.

    tasteofbeirut — Wednesday 5th May 2010 1:46 pm

  22. Stunning!!! Just found your site and your photography leaves me speechless … needless to say, your recipes too! If I ever write a book I will keep you in mind for my cover shot :) Amazing talent.
