This recipe is from Martha Stewart Kids magazine, and is used as a filling for the cakes in Recipe #. I made a half sized version of the cakes, so I only made a half recipe of this. This also made for good baby food. :) This is the darker orangey stuff in the photos.

Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into puree in 2 additions. Spoon apricot mixture into prepared pan, smoothing top. Place pan on baking sheet with sides. Pour enough water into baking sheet to measure 1/2 inch.

- Dissolve over hot water.

- If you are using frozen apricots, thaw them completely before using.
- If you are using canned apricots, drain them well and rinse them with cold water before using.
- To make the apricot whip lighter and fluffier, beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks before folding them into the apricot mixture.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the apricot whip ahead of time, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
- Serve the apricot whip with fresh fruit, cookies, or cake.
