Tips

- Use fresh, ripe apricots for the best flavor. If apricots are not in season, you can use frozen or dried apricots. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - To ensure even baking, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. - Bake the loaves until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
