- 1⁄2 cup dried apricot
- 1⁄4 cup hot water

- Stir in mayo, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, & green onion.

Yummy! I quartered the apricots before soaking so they'd be sure to absorb as much as possible. Used my Zyliss chopper to finely chop the apricots which worked well. I love spicy foods but my tolerance for chipotles seems to be lower than other chiles so I cut the chile amount (including the adobo) in half and after chilling to meld together the heat level was perfect for my taste. Super tasty on my leftover-Easter-ham sandwich today and looking forward to using it on other things too! Thanks for sharing Susie! :)

OMG IS THIS DELICIOUS!!! And if you follow the directions, fast & easy. I am notorious for not following recipes so it took me awhile. Knowing how piggish we are, I decided to double the recipe. Except I only had 3/4c apricots. So I added 1/4c dried figlets. So far so good. Then I thought I would moosh the whole batch in the mini prep. NO! If you double this, use a regular food processor or blender!! I eventually got everything pureed & combined. VERY TASTY. OMG is this delicious. I 'marinated' my chickyboobs in the limeysoakingwater, too. Made for ZWT5. Thanks, hunny!
