My niece, Allison, sent me this recipe. It's one of her mother's recipes. Allison is Helen Edna's daughter. The recipe dates back to the 1970's. Thanks for sending it Allison.
Easy Apricot Chews
½ cup of finely cut up dried apricots
½ cup raisins
1/3 cup of water
1) in a large heavy pot simmer the above ingredients until the water is absorbed
2) add 1 cup of white sugar
3) slightly beat 2 eggs and add
4) mix 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp. of baking powder + ¼ tsp. of baking soda and add
5) add 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
6) add ½ cup of crushed pineapple
7) add ½ cup of chopped nuts ( optional – I didn’t use this time but pecans or walnuts work well)
Mix all together in the pot. Have a 9 x 9 prepared pan ready for the mixture.
Bake at 350 f for 35/40 minutes.
This is a really easy recipe except for chopping the apricots but watch the top of the pan in the last 5 minutes or so as they are suddenly done very quickly and you don’t want the top to brown too much.
Note: To my readers. The recipes are not copyrighted but my blog is. Please copy the recipes and enjoy them. There are more on the way.
