Apricotina (Apricot Drops) Preparation
Wipe apricots with a damp cloth. Do not soak or wash them, as this would make them too moist. Mince or chop them very finely. Add a few tablespoons confectioners” sugar to taste, and knead thoroughly by hand, wetting your hands from time to time to make a smooth, soft, slightly moist paste. Shape into marble-sized balls. Roll them in confectioners” sugar and let them dry overnight. You can insert half a bright green pistachio nut on top to offset the rich orange of the apricots. A splendid variation is stuffed apricotina. Use 1 tb. ground almonds or finely chopped pistachios mixed with 1 heaping tsp. sugar. Make a small hole in the center of each apricotina. Put in a little of the filling, close the hole again, and roll in confectioners” sugar. From _A Book of Middle Eastern Food_ by Claudia Roden. New York: Random House, Inc., 1974. Pg. 423.
