I am a huge fan of dried apricots, so i just loved this recipe to the core. The ice cream has such an amazing natural taste of the apricots which is very irresistable. It is nice and creamy like the ones you get in the stores.

I had never made ice cream before so this recipe was great for me, simple and easy to follow. I also love apricots, especially the tangy and naturally sweet Whole California Apricots.
