This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had a bunch of apricots that were about to go bad, so I made this ice cream and it turned out delicious.

I didn't have any pistachios, so I used chopped walnuts instead. The ice cream still turned out great!

I had some trouble finding apricot preserves, but I eventually found them at a specialty grocery store. The ice cream turned out great, and it was worth the effort to find the preserves.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
