The amaretto flavor in these apricots is really subtle. I think I'll add a bit more next time.

These cheese-stuffed apricots were a great way to use up some leftover apricots. They were also a nice change from the usual fruit salad.

The cheese filling was a bit runny for my liking. I think I'll try using a different type of cheese next time.

These apricots were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
