Dried Stuffed Apricots

 Dried Stuffed Apricots 

2 ounces soft cream cheese at room temperature

1 teaspoon milk

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

20 dried apricots

20 whole almonds

Combine the cream cheese and milk, stirring with a fork until thoroughly combined.  Stir in the chopped basil.

If you have whole dried apricots, and they easily separate, put a half teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture inside the dried apricot. Then insert one almond into the apricot also.  If the dried apricots are halves only or if they don’t want to separate, just place the cream cheese and the almond on top of the dried apricot.

This makes an excellent appetizer or a light dessert.
