April 2: Apricot Freeze

This is an amazing recipe. My friend, Brenda, shared this with me while we lived in Boise. We were both into bottling fruit at the time and it is a great way to use bottled apricots.
Apricot smoothie.      10 apricots, cut in half and seed removed     1/4 c plain yogurt     1/2 c milk     2 tbls honey     1 tsp vanilla       Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth. Pour into two chilled glasses and serve!

Juice of three lemons (about 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 c apricot puree
1/2 c pineapple juice
1/2 c orange juice
2/3 c sugar

Combine all ingredients. Freeze in freezer bags or other container. Makes almost a quart. Blend in for smoothies or mix 1/2 and 1/2 with Sprite. Makes great popsicles.
