Comments: The key to the recipes success, is getting really ripe, flavorful apricots. You can use fresh fruit, but its also excellent using frozen apricots. The secret is, if youre lucky enough to have a Blenheim apricot tree, then youll get real apricot flavor. Dont fool and fiddle with nice-looking big apricots; they wont have any flavor.
