Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Apricot Muffins

1 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Directions

Soak apricots in water for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add sour cream; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Drain apricots, discarding liquid. Fold apricots, orange peel and nuts into batter. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Yield: about 1 dozen.
