Servings
2 Servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces dried apricots chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar or more to taste, depending on the sweetness of the fruit
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Place apricots in a saucepan. Add sugar, lemon juice, and just enough water to barely cover the fruit. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook down the dried fruit until reduced and thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Add cinnamon, if using. Transfer the cooked fruit to a food processor and pulse 3 to 4 times until desired consistency is reached.

I make prune filling with just prunes, sliced lemon (which I discard after cooking) and water. When I chop it in the food processor I add half a navel orange.
I make my apricot filling with just water and cinnamon. I find the cookies are sweet enough without the extra sugar.
I was wondering is the 6 ozs of apricots, a 6 0z cup (3/4 cup) or weight of 6 ounces.
perfect for hamantashed and also between layers of chocolate cake
