    Thumbs up Apricot Logs/Balls

    Very sweet and natural!

    1.5 cups dried apricots (about 40)
    1 Tbsp water
    juice of 1 medium orange
    Grated peel of 1 medium orange
    1/2 cup flake coconut
    2/3 cup flake coconut, for coating

    Measure apricots and water into casserole dish. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes until moist and plump. Put the apricot mixture and orange juice into a blender. Blend, stopping the blender and stirring every few seconds, until the apricots are very finally chopped. Pour mixture into a medium bowl.

    Mix in the orange peel and first amount of coconut. Divide the mixture in half. Roll into two 6-inch (15 cm) logs.

    Place the second amount of coconut on waxed paper. Roll the logs in coconut until well coated. Cover each log with plastic wrap. Chill about 3 hours. Cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces.

    Variation: shape the mixture into 1 inch balls. Roll in the coconut and chill.

    I have hypoglycemia and lately it has been out of control, and I have been craving sugar really badly. So I have to not have any concentrated forms of sugar, any sweet fruit or any refined food (especially white flour) for two weeks, to get my blood sugar under control. Then I can reintroduce these foods in moderation.

    OMG - those recipes look soooo good. I just love apricots, they are my fav dried fruit. Great for the skin too, when I was in high school I would eat a handful and the next day my skin would be clear and glowing. All the vitamin A.

    Dates are great too, but sometimes they get a bit sweet. I guess they are my second favorite!
