Apricot Confection

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 7 1/2 ounces vanilla wafers, crushed
• 8 ounces dried apricots

Directions

Snip apricots into small strips. Sprinkle with water and let stand in a sealed container overnight.

Combine eggs, sugar, and apricots. In a lightly buttered skillet cook the apricot mixture over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the nuts, vanilla wafer crumbs and 1/2 of the coconut.

Shape mixture into small balls. Roll balls in the remaining coconut. Store in a tightly covered box. These taste best after aging for a few days.
