Apricot Foldovers
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1-1/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup sugar
Beat together the margarine and cheese until creamy, then blend in the flour and water. Chill the dough for 4 to 5 hours. Preheat the oven to 370F. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the preserves and sugar until the mixture boils and is smooth. Set aside. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 10 inch square, cut into 2 1/2 inch squares. Put a scant teaspoon of the preserves in the center of each square, fold over diagonally and seal the edges. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8 to 10 minutes.

Would make this again.
These were excellent and I will definitely make them again. I had to bake them longer than the recipe called for. I undercooked the first batch and they were soft and greasy. I doubled the cooking time after that and they were toasted, flaky, and delicious. I also improved the recipe, I think, by adding home-made apricot jam (which I made from dried apricots) to the store-bought apricot preserves. Be sure to make your squares as square as possible or you will have trouble folding over.

These are the best! They were gone within hours of being made.

This recipe was surprisingly easy to make! The squares were folded in half because my triangles didn't line up perfectly. I will try it with other jams and jellies, too. I have received soooo many requests for these!

Excellent! My family loved these and wanted more. Will make a double batch this year.
