Any kind of ripe apricots can be used in this frozen treat, and since the sweetness of apricots varies, you may need to add a little more sugar. The base can be put together in minimal hands-on time – pit the apricots and put them through a food mill, or blend them in the blender or food processor and push them through a fine strainer; either way it takes very little time. Alternately, they can be peeled and mashed, but this method will take a little more time. Stir in some sugar, corn syrup, and frozen orange juice concentrate; chill the mixture until ready to freeze. It’s that easy, and oh so good!
