Apricot Spread with Almonds
Dried apricots and almonds not only bring a delicious taste, but also plenty of magnesium, fiber, and vitamins A and E.
For the apricots, you can do without soaking and instead of orange juice, puree 2-3 fresh, very ripe apricots. This will make the apricot aroma even more intense.
