Dried Fruit and Nut Biscotti

Submitted by Chef #293207

"I found this recipe in a magazine years ago and use a different combination of nuts and fruits every time I make it, but dried apricots and pistachio nuts work well here. You might need to adjust the baking and drying times, depending on your oven. Enjoy!"
