Phaedrus,
I was watching a cooking show hosted by Julia Child. She was
watching a woman make Danish pastries. The woman made her
own fillings. Two of these fillings included rasberries and
blackberries as well as apricots.
Could you possibly find out how to make an apricot marmalade?
My husband loves it. I usually buy Bonne Maman brand but dried
apricots are available and seeing as how this woman was able to
make the marmalade from the dried apricots I thought it would be
fun to try.
Sincerely,
S. Creber
p.s. A rasberry and blackberry receipe would be nice too, please.
Hello SC,
Below are several apricot marmalade recipes of various types. I'll have
to treat the raspberry and blackberry as separate requests.

Do you know of a recipe for Brown Sugar Pie?

another to make one pie.

start to hold together, turn onto a board and knead until the dough
holds together and cracks when pressed down. On a lightly floured
board, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares
