  1. Delicious and perfect for apricot lovers! I made a few slight changes in the recipe such as skipping the dried apricots and used 1/2 vanilla bean in the sugar/water instead. I also added 1/3 cup sliced almonds to the sorbet mix after blending the rest of the ingredients together (skipping the almond extract). I served this with pound cake which I added some almond extract to -- wonderful desert! Thanks for sharing!
