I did not have the apricots so I increased the rasins and cranrasins. I Loved it, so did my mom, roommate and his coworkers. I was asked to make it again for the roommate and coworkers. I made it by the recipe ingredients and it was just as good. I did have to put it in the refig for a day to keep all the ingredients together so I may cut it up into individual servicings. Thank you for posting this Very Good.
