By norsegal8

This filling can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried apricots (about 6 ounces), roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup sugar (2 1/3 ounces)
• Pinch salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine apricots and orange juice in a small microwave-safe bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap, and microwave on high until simmering, about 1 minute. Let stand, covered, until apricots have soaked up most of juice, about 10 minutes.

2. Place apricots, any remaining orange juice, sugar, and salt in food processor and process until puree forms, about 20 seconds. Scrape apricot puree into small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until ready to use.
