APRICOT CANDY

Armenian method of making candied fruits!



INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. dried apricots
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup blanched almonds

PREPARATION:
In a food processor, finely mince the apricots. In a large pot add water and the apricots and slowly simmer until the apricots thicken. Add 1/2 the sugar, 1 cup, to the apricots and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Let the apricots cool. With hands lubricated with a little butter, form the apricot mixture into 1 inch diameter balls. On a sheet of waxed paper, flatten the balls until they are about 1/2 inch in thickness. Place an almond in the center and dip in granulated sugar. These can be individually wrapped in small squares of waxed paper and will store well until all are consumed. Not very long!
