Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 24 dried apricot halves

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the water, lemon juice, cinnamon and dried apricots. Bring to a boil. Then cover and leave to simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until the dried apricots are plump.
  • Meanwhile place the chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for about 90 seconds or until thoroughly melted. Stir every 15 or so seconds.
  • Using tongs, remove the apricots one at a time, shaking off the excess water. Dip half or more of each apricot into the melted chocolate.
  • Place the dipped apricots onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before removing.
  • Store the apricots in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
