Mmmm I know these have got to be good. My mama loved apricots too! Especially apricot nectar. So refreshing.

Wow, Wynne, I'm trying to imagine just how these would taste! Sweet, salty, fruity, tart....And, versatile -- I bet you could substitute dried cranberries (Craisins) or other dried fruits, and preserves to match the fruit!
Great post, GF :)
