Apricot Paste

Make a very firm apricot jam, pour it upon a clean baking-sheet, and put it in a very slow oven to dry. When set, stamp out or cut into any shapes, such as rings, ovals, etc., and place in trays to be dried on a screen. Cover with paper. When quite dry they should be dusted with fine sugar and packed in tin boxes for use when required.
