Notes

If you can’t find “super juicy apricots" which are much stickier than normal apricots, just add a little pure maple syrup when you blend the apricots and coconut together. You may also need to coat the balls in a little water when you roll them in the additional coconut.

  1. I follow recipes closely as I am not good or creative in the kitchen. It would have been really helpful if you would have put DRIED apricots in recipe. As a writer and recipe writer, you should know the difference a word makes in recipes. The description "soft and juicy Mediterranean" apricots does not tell me they are DRIED. Sounds like fresh to me. I never made made apricot balls before, and I really like the simplicity of your recipe. However, apricots are expensive in Minnesota on a tight budget, and now I have 2 cups of apricot-coconut soup that I don\’t know what to do with it. Maybe I didn\’t think it through all the way, but a correct description of ingredients is essential in any recipe. When I\’m past being upset about wasting 5 beautiful apricots, I will try this again with DRIED apricots.

    1. I did exactly the same thing!! And it\’s 3 years later. Please, as the author of the recipe, can you correct the ingredients so others don\’t do the same wasteful thing!! :(
