Apricot Truffles

"These rich little apricots balls are more-ish. I challenge you to eat just one. They're very nice in summer when frozen as well. (The serving size is a guess as I haven't made this in several years and it also depends on how big you make the balls. I'll ammend this next time I make them)"

  1. OUTSTANDING TASTE TREATS! I took the tip from mummamills & added just a small amount of white chocolate, but otherwise followed the recipe right on down! Thanks for a great recipe that I've now added to my own holiday gift ideas cookbook! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my swapmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #25]
     
  2. great easy recipe! easy to roll with wet hands, and they taste better 24 hours later. I popped mine in the freezer, but they havent actually "frozen" they are still soft (?) I will make these again for xmas hampers, but I might add a little white chocolate, just so they harden a bit more. Taste wise, brilliant! Nov swap
     
  3. Very nice indeed busyozmum. I halved the amounts given and still made plenty. got about 20-25, not sure because as I mad them the kids were tasting them !! A very tangy flavour from the apricots and yet sweet, and you are right they are very more-ish. They vanished before my eyes, even by those who dont like apricots!!!!Actually I wished I had made the whole amount !! Will be making agin....Thanks busyozmum.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born to migrant (Polish) parents in the western suburbs of Victoria, Australia in the early 60's. I was born to love food. My mother, a talented lady, taught herself to cook after she got married and turned out to be a wonderful cook. People everywhere rave about her meals. I am especially fond of the few traditional Polish dishes she makes. These days that only happens by special request. :o) When I was 18, I married into a Greek/Macedonian family and so my love of food was further expanded and enhanced. Those people can cook! Now married for a 2nd time to a true-blue Aussie guy, I struck gold again with a mother-in-law who was extremely talented in her kitchen. Unfortunately she's too elderly and unwell to weild her wooden spoon these days but I thoroughly enjoy discussing her favourite recipes and perusing her old cook books. Food has always been a huge part of my life. I love all types of cuisines. Hubby and I have 7 kids (his, mine and ours). At present (2010), they are 26, 26, 25, 24, 20, 11 & 9 years old. I get to practice in the kitchen a lot. Sometimes more than I really want to. LOL! The 5 older kids are no longer living at home but phone me with foody requests regularly. I LOVE it when they ask for a favourite dish to be cooked by me. I feel my job has been well done. :o) My 2 younger kids are a Mum's nightmare to feed. I don't know why, but these 2 are by far the pick-iest eaters of the 7. Still, they are asked to try new things regularly and I'm sure one day, they too will have a love of good food as the rest of us do. <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Erica-1-1.jpg"> Australian/New Zealand RECIPE SWAP #22 - November 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/MullaMulla-1-1.jpg"> Australian/New Zealand RECIPE SWAP #21 - October 2008 <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg> Veg*n Swap 3 ~ October 2008 <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/these2hands/RecipeSwap2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
