Apricots and apricot recipes...

There is a great Ice Cream Parlour where Fruit salad with Ice cream is served with a Apricot on top of it. Then I started buying apricot, soak it in water to soften it whenever we make fruit salad with icecream at home.

I love apricots but they are so expensive here

I do have a receipe for Aprocot Bars It is so easy and uses apricot preserves

You make this butter and egg crumb crust and spread preserves and then prepare and spread an egg white mixture on top and bake

This is a great party pastry It looks expensive and elegant You can fool everyone

I love fresh apricots, dried apricots, and apricot jam. Dried apricots are delicious alone, in trail mix, chopped up in cookies and muffins, or dipped in chocolate. Fresh apricots are great in cakes, tarts, cobblers, ice cream, and salsa.

yes i like apricot too...but i like strawberry than apricot

Well i do like apricots but not much as strawberries.

Apricot's are rather yummy indeed! They are also very versatile I find as well. There are a lot of different things you can make with apricots.

I remember as a kid always having apricot's with vanilla ice cream. If they are cut up in to small slices then mixed with ice cream they can be heavenly! I recommend anyone making this recipe. It's a great dessert for after supper.

I have come up with a few of my favorite recipes that I have used in the past for desserts. I have passed them a long if anyone is interested.

"Apricot Crumble."

Ingredients are as follows:

- 2 cups of sliced fresh apricots

- 1 tbsp of lemon juice

- 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs

- 2 tbsp of melted butter

- 1/2 cup of brown sugar

- light cream

Directions are as follows:

- Combine the brown sugar, the melted butter, the lemon juice & the graham cracker crumbs.

- Then spread in a shallow buttered baking dish.

- Then bake at 350 degrees F for at least 25 minutes.

- Then serve with light cream.

Another dessert that I enjoy making is:

"Apricot Fitters."

Ingredients are as follows:

- Halves of fresh apricots

- 1 tbsp of melted butter

- 1 cup of sifted flour

- 1/8 tsp of salt

- 2 eggs

- 2 tsp of lemon juice

Directions are as follows:

- Beat the eggs until very light.

- Then add all of the other ingredients. And just enough cold water to help to make a batter almost like a heavy cream.

- Then dust the apricot halves with the flour & dip it in to the batter.

- Then fry in deep oil or even shortening. And then drain & dust with powdered sugar. Serve & ENJOY! . .
