This is an old family recipe that I recently entered in the 2001 Ventura County Fair and won 'Honorable Mention' for in the Pudding Division. There was no category for Kugel, but the judges loved it and still wanted to honor me with a ribbon! Hope you enjoy it as well.

KUGEL WITH APRICOT NECTAR
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the kugel: Brush a 4-quart shallow baking dish with margarine. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain well, then transfer to the prepared baking dish. Add the margarine and stir to melt and coat the noodles.
- Beat the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons apricot nectar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the milk and the remaining apricot nectar; beat until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture over the noodles; stir to coat.
- Make the topping: Combine the cornflakes, melted margarine and sugar in a medium bowl. Sprinkle on top of the noodle mixture and bake until just set in the center, about 1 hour. (If the topping is golden but the kugel is not yet set, turn off the oven and keep the kugel inside up to 20 more minutes.) Let cool 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish with canola spray, set aside.
- Boil lightly salted water in a large saucepan, add noodles and cook al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse under cold water.
- While noodles are cooking, beat together the following ingredients in a large bowl: cream cheese (room temp), butter (room temp), sour cream, vanilla extract, eggs and salt. Fold in noodles and blend well.
- Spread half of noodle mixture in bottom of greased pan; top with one jar of apricot preserves in a thin layer. Repeat with remaining noodles and preserves. Then, sprinkle brown sugar on top, followed by pecans.
- Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes until top is golden and slightly crisp. Serve warm.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy apricots. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use frozen or canned apricots. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- If you don't have matzo meal, you can use regular all-purpose flour. Just be sure to add a little extra baking powder to help the kugel rise.
- If you don't have cottage cheese, you can use ricotta cheese instead. Ricotta cheese will give the kugel a lighter, creamier texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the kugel tough.
- Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the kugel warm or at room temperature. It can be eaten as a breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Conclusion:
Apricot Cottage Cheese Kugel is a delicious and easy-to-make Passover dish. It is a great way to use up leftover matzo meal and cottage cheese. The kugel is moist, flavorful, and has a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
