APRICOT CONFECTIONS
This is the first time for making these. They are from Cathy Barrow, who blogs for MrsWheelbarrow.com. This recipe was posted in the Washington Post, Dec. 8, 2010. My friend Toni put me on to their Christmas cookie section. Thanks Toni. I doubled the recipe and got 79 pieces. The recipe says 60 small candies. I used a small cookie scoop abt. 3/4 tsp., they were using 1/2 tsp. The recipe also says these are a little sweet, a little tart, a little chewy. Another addition to my Christmas Candy Boxes.

Steps:
- *Combine apricots and coconut in the bowl of a food processor. Add the sweetened condensed milk; pulse to form a dough that holds together. *Note: I pulsed the apricots by their self a couple of times before adding the coconut, then pulsed again before adding the milk.
- Spread confectioners sugar on a baking sheet or a large plate; use a little to dust your hands.
- Scoop the dough in very small amounts, about 1/2 teaspoon, to form a loose ball. Roll each one in the sugar until well coated. Transfer to a wire rack to dry for at least 1 hour and up to overnight before serving or storing.

Steps:
- Add apricots and water to a large, preferably non-stick, saucepan.
- Bring almost to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until apricots are tender.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer to a food processor, or use an immersion blender.to puree the fruit. You should have about 5 cups of puree.
- Return puree to saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice.
- Simmer mixture over low to medium-low heat until mixture thickens, stirring often to prevent scorching. This took me about 1 and ¼ hours.
- Thickened mixture will leave a clear space in the pan when you pull your spoon through it.
- Pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan and let cool.
- Let the paste dry at room temperature until the top is dry and no longer sticky. Remove from pan, invert and let the bottom dry. This may take anywhere from 2-3 days in an arid environment to a week or more. Alternatively, dry in a food dehydrator or set in the sun to dry (cover with cheesecloth to keep the bugs away!).
- Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.
