Apricot Drop recipe
|
To make Apricot Drop you will need
Ingredients
| 1/2 | pounds | Dried apricots | | | Icing sugar | | | A few pistachio nuts (opt'l.) |
Instructions
Wipe apricots with a damp cloth. Do not soak or wash them, as this would
make them too moist. Mince or chop them very finely. Add a few tablespoons
confectioners' sugar to taste, and knead thoroughly by hand, wetting your
hands from time to time to make a smooth, soft, slightly moist paste. Shape
into marble-sized balls. Roll them in confectioners' sugar and let them dry
overnight. You can insert half a bright green pistachio nut on top to
offset the rich orange of the apricots.
A splendid variation is stuffed apricotina. Use 1 tb. ground almonds or
finely chopped pistachios mixed with 1 heaping tsp. sugar. Make a small
hole in the center of each apricotina. Put in a little of the filling,
close the hole again, and roll in confectioners' sugar.
Enjoy your Apricot Drop
