APRICOT GRATIN

1 lemon (about 1/4 lb)
½ cup sugar
1 1/4 to 1½ lbs B&R Farms Dried Apricots
2 tblsp apricot-flavor brandy, or orange juice
1/4 cup B&R Farms Dried Apricot Preserves

1. Rinse lemon, slice off and discard ends, then cut fruit crosswise into paper-thin slices, and discard seeds.
2. In a 10 to 12 inch non-stick frying pan over high heat, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add lemon and cook for 1 minute. Drain. Repeat step.
3. In pan, combine lemon and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir often over medium high heat until liquid evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes; take care not to scorch fruit.
4. Rinse Apricots, and cut fruit lengthwise into 3/4 inch slices. In a 10 inch wide (about 8 cup) round quiche dish or shallow casserole, snugly arrange apricots in a single layer. Tuck lemon pieces among apricots slices. Spoon brandy over fruit, then sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
5. Bake in a 450 degrees oven until fruit edges are tinged with dark brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
6. Stir B&R Farms Dried Apricot Preserves, dot evenly over fruit.
