This recipe was first featured in Farm Journal Chistmas Book which my mother in law gave me. I entered this recipe in the Wayne County Fair in Wooster Ohio in 1972 and won first prize. Upon telling my girlfriend who still lives in Ohio this story she asked for the recipe and re-entered it this year again winning first prize. Prize winning recipe with a great history.

Make sure you use California dried apricots. The Mediterranean apricots are too sweet and too moist.

I gave these a test run and they are good. They are quite sweet. I plan to serve them at a citizen's gathering and know they will go over well. When I made them for my family they were thrilled to pieces.
