Baked Apricots

Submitted by Chef likestocook

"I had not thought about apricots for a long time, but we had an apricot dish when a group that I belong to ate at the Woodford Reserves for our Christmas celebration. Their apricots did have bourbon and were delicious and a little different than the usual casseroles. I thought I would be able to see their recipe on line, but could not find it. I did find a couple sites that talked about this southern dish. They compared the apricots and ham to cranberries and turkey. I tried it out for a brunch that I was having and found them to be very good. Even my DH who turned up his nose, but thought that he should try them really did like them."

Wow! Delicious! I used the new whole what Ritz crackers and a pint of home canned apricots, not as much butter. I sprinkled cinnamon and allspice. I served with maple nut ice cream! Quick and easy. I am sure that you could add some brandy or whiskey but it is great the way it was submitted. Thanks for posting.
