Our home economists stuff dried apricots with sweetened Mascarpone cheese, then wrap them with prosciutto before baking. The result is an appealing snack for special occasions. Ingredients:
3/4 cup mascarpone cheese |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
1 package (7 ounces) dried pitted mediterranean apricots |
12 thin slices prosciutto |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, confectioners' sugar and pepper. Cut a slit in each apricot; fill with cheese mixture. Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise; wrap a piece around each apricot and secure with a toothpick.
2. Place in an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 dozen.
