"This spread is great served with hot scones, but also fantastic on waffles or toast. It is a nice way to dress up an ordinary breakfast or brunch."

  1. I looooove this butter!! I did not have apricot jam, but did have dried apricots. I cut them into small pieces, soaked them overnight in orange juice, and in the morning I simmered them until they were jam-like. When cool, I added the butter, orange zest and Grand Marnier! Oh my, it is good! After I had mixed it to a smooth butter, then I added the rest of the jam... I will definitely made this again, I can't say it will be as good with the jam, but it sure is delicious made with dried apricots!! I love citrus flavours, this is perfect on warm tea biscuits!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I recently moved to Alaska from Arizona for my husbands job. Right now I am staying home with our 2-year-old daughter. We are all still trying to discover Anchorage and all that Alaska has to offer. I love everything about food. Shopping for food, cooking food, and eating food. My mother is an amazing baker, and I am fortunate that she passed that on to me. My husband is from Zambia, in southern Africa, so we cook a lot of traditional Zambian dishes. I love to cook but rarely do I measure and track cooking times. I am the kind of cook that just throws things together until I get what I am looking for. <a href="http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=cookieswapparticip.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/59115c92.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/Other/tagforpage1.jpg">
