Instructions: In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until consistency of dry oatmeal.

Add snipped apricots, pecans and white chocolate chips; mix lightly with a fork.

In a medium bowl, combine cream, eggs and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients, stir until dough just begins to come together. (If it is quite dry, add slightly more cream, a tablespoon at a time).

On board, knead gently 5 or 6 times. Do not overwork. Divide into desired size pans; this amount works out to fill three 9 inch pans, each pan cut lightly into 8 wedges, pulled slightly apart so they can be easily separated.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Refrigerate until serving.

Note: To toast nuts, place in 350-degree oven for about 7 to 10 minutes, until you begin to smell them and theyre lightly browned.
