APRICOT THRONES WITH CHEESE AND PECANS
This is a simple, elegant appetizer, with WOW taste. I found this several years ago in a cookbook I own called "Fast Appetizers" by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison. I forgot about it until I was just informed I'm hosting a 50th birthday party for my friend, AND MYSELF! Well, if I'm serving it at my own party, it's good! (I'll at least double it.)

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the cheese and milk. (Or use a medium-sized bowl and a wooden spoon.) Using the paddle attachment, whip the cheese (or stir it vigorously) for at least 5 minutes, or until it is very smooth and creamy. If the cheese is still crumbly, add more milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
- To assemble, spread about 1/8 teaspoon of cheese on each apricot. (If using California apricots, put the goat cheese on the shiny side.) Drizzle a little honey over the cheese and top with a light sprinkling of thyme. Place a walnut half on top, arrange the apricots on a platter and serve.

Tips:
- To ensure that the apricot filling is evenly distributed, make sure to use a spoon to carefully spread it over the crescent roll dough before rolling it up.
- For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the apricot thrones with melted butter before baking.
- If you don't have any chopped pecans on hand, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
- To save time, you can use store-bought crescent roll dough instead of making your own.
- For a more decadent dessert, serve the apricot thrones with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
