Apricot Confection

3 eggs

½ cup white sugar

¾ cup chopped walnuts

2 cups flaked coconut

7 ½ ounces vanilla wafers, crushed

8 ounces dried apricots

Snip apricots into small strips. Sprinkle with water and let stand in a sealed container overnight.

Combine eggs, sugar, and apricots. In a lightly buttered skillet cook the apricot mixture over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the nuts, vanilla wafer crumbs and 1/2 of the coconut.

Shape mixture into small balls. Roll balls in the remaining coconut. Store in a tightly covered box. These taste best after aging for a few days.
