Little Apricot Confections - apricots

Method

• Grind the apricots in a food processor.
• Combine apricots, coconut and condensed milk in the processor. When well combined, pulse in the liqueur and turn out the dough on a plate.
• Using a very small scoop, or two teaspoons, make small mounds of the dough on a parchment lined sheet pan. You want the finished candy to be one little bite, so keep the pieces small.
• Dust your hands well with powdered sugar and pick up each little mound and roll it into a ball, then drop into the bowl of powdered sugar. Roll the candy around in your powdered sugar coated hands until it's white and completely covered.
• I pack these for giving in tiny candy cups. They store for two weeks in a covered container, with the layers separated by wax paper. They absorb some of the coating over time, but can be refreshed by rerolling in more powdered sugar.
