Apricot Burritos:

(Mrs. La Vern Bowman)

Deacon Dave says this one is a tasty treat!

This appetizer is a quick energizer and is ideal to serve with a cool drink

One 8 ounce package dried apricots, snipped

1 cup water

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup packed brown sugar

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

20 to 25 = 6 inch flour tortillas

Cooking oil

In small saucepan combine the apricots, water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or till fruit is tender and mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool.

To assemble, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apricot mixture along one edge of each tortilla; roll up.

In a 12 inch skillet heat about ¾ inch of cooking oil to 350 degrees. Place 5 tortillas, seam side down, in hot oil. Cook 2 minutes or till golden, turning once. Drain tortillas on paper toweling. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve warm or cool. Makes 20 to 25.
