This is a super quick and delicious dish to put together. I listed it as a side because we eat it with veggies and a meat, but it could be used as a desert. Either way it is very good.

BAKED APRICOTS



Baked Apricots image

I had not thought about apricots for a long time, but we had an apricot dish when a group that I belong to ate at the Woodford Reserves for our Christmas celebration. Their apricots did have bourbon and were delicious and a little different than the usual casseroles. I thought I would be able to see their recipe on line, but could not find it. I did find a couple sites that talked about this southern dish. They compared the apricots and ham to cranberries and turkey. I tried it out for a brunch that I was having and found them to be very good. Even my DH who turned up his nose, but thought that he should try them really did like them.

  • For a more decadent dessert, try topping the apricots with a streusel topping before baking.
