• 1⁄4 cup dried apricot

This is rich pudding heaven! I did not have any raspberry preserves so I used homemade strawberry jam and increased the almonds and raisins slightly. SOOOO delicious, thanks for sharing!...Kitten:)

I was crazy for this dessert. I omitted the apricots and used golden raisins only for the fruit. I also pureed my ricotta in the food processor. Roxygirl
