Weekend brunch is worth waking up for and this recipe will help kick-start your weekend. Alexander the Great is widely believed to have brought apricots to Greece, while the Roman General Lucullus is credited for bring back apricot trees from Armenia to Rome. According to Pliny, Romans began cultivating apricots about 100 B.C., and they definitely knew apricots by 200 A.D. since the Roman Food Writer, Apicius, recorded recipes for them.
