Recipe: Apricot Dip

Servings: 8 (1/4 cup each)

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh orange juice

½ cup finely chopped dried apricots (3-4 ounces)

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

2 dashes ground nutmeg

8 ounces fat-free vanilla yogurt

In a small nonreactive saucepan, stir together the orange juice and apricots. Bring to a boil of medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. As the apricots become tender, mash them with the back of a spoon. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the liquids are absorbed.

Transfer to a medium bowl.

Stir in the applesauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cover and let cool.

Stir the yogurt into cooled mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
