Ingredients:

1 pound dried apricots
sugar to taste
1/2 cup split, blanched almonds
whipped cream

Directions:

Cover the apricots with cold water and let them soak overnight. Transfer the apricots and the water to a pot and simmer gently, stirring occasionally until they are soft. Put the apricots into a food processor and puree. Add the water from the pot as needed to make a smooth consistency. Add sugar to taste. Stir in the almonds. Put the mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate. Top off with whipped cream just before serving.
