Tips:

Use fresh, ripe apricots for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots. Just soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes before using.
If you like a sweeter dressing, add more honey or maple syrup.
For a tangier dressing, add more vinegar.
This dressing is great on salads, grilled chicken, or fish.
