Tips:
- Use ripe apricots for the best flavor. If your apricots are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with a banana for a few days.
- To easily peel the apricots, score a shallow X on the bottom of each apricot and then place them in a bowl of boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove the apricots from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. The skins will then slip right off.
- If you don't have any dried apricots, you can use 1 cup of chopped fresh apricots instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
- This bread is also delicious made with other dried fruits, such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries.
- To make a gluten-free version of this bread, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
