[email protected]This recipe was okay. The apricots were cooked well, but the syrup was a bit too thick. I think I would have liked it better if the syrup had been thinner.

[email protected]This recipe was just okay. The apricots were cooked well, but the syrup was too sweet. I think I would have liked it better if the syrup had been less sweet.

[email protected]This recipe was good, but not great. The apricots were a little too tart for my taste and the syrup was a bit too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
