This recipe grabbed my attention as soon as I read apricots. I absolutely love them in both dried and fresh form. Although, I must admit, it’s hard to find fresh apricots here, so I do use dried apricots quite a bit more. This recipe was gorgeous and so easy to make. The taste blew me away – so yummy!
