Wouldn't this be nice with a large salad and some hot tea? Can't recall where this recipe came from, but is good slathered with butter or spread with a bit of apricot preserves.

How To Make apricot bread

Step 1

Soak apricots for 20 minutes in hot water to cover. Drain and chop apricots into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Beat sugar, oil and egg together in a mixing bowl. Stir in water and orange juice. Add white flour, pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing until thoroughly combined. Stir in walnuts and apricots.
Step 3

Pour batter into a buttered 9-inch loaf pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for 55 to 65 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to continue cooling.
