This sounds delicious and will definitely try it. I like the tangy apricots and the robust crystallized ginger as a flavor counterpoint. It’s hard to rate since I haven’t actually tasted it, but give it a 5 just because it sounds so wonderful.
This was very good! I had to substitute powdered ginger for the crystallized so it would have been even better, but I was very happy with the results–and so was my husband!
Great recipes, I love the ginger in this recipe.
