3/4 cup	148g / 5.2oz	Sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Water
1/3 cup	48g / 1.7oz	Dried apricots - chopped
1 3/4 lbs	794g / 28oz	Firm-ripe apricots - (abt 7 large)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Almond extract

		Special Equipment
		Ice cream maker

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bring sugar, water, and dried apricots to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let stand until apricots are softened, about 1 hour.

While dried apricots are standing, roast whole fresh apricots in a small roasting pan in middle of oven until soft, about 1 hour. Cool in pan, and pit when cool enough to handle.

Puree dried apricot mixture, roasted apricots, lemon juice, and almond extract in a blender until very smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Force puree through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids and then discarding them. Chill puree, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.

Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container, and put in freezer to harden.

This recipe yields 3 cups.
