ROSEMARY AND APRICOT FRENCH LOAF
This is a sweet bread that seems quite fancy and is actually not much more work than a simple French loaf. I went to an Irish bakery once and they had apricot bread. In my imagination, this is the recipe I was thinking of so I made this up when the Irish bakery didn't read my mind.

- Place water, olive oil, and salt into one side of a bread machine. Place 1/3 of the apricots on top of this fluid mixture with 2 cups of flour. Place more apricots in the middle of the flour, pour remaining flour on top, followed by remaining apricots. This will help weaker bread machines integrate the apricots.

Steps:
- Line two, 18x12x1-inch cookie sheets with parchment paper or foil (I prefer parchment paper but if you use foil, butter and flour it first.). Combine the first 6 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until it forms a fine meal. Add white chocolate chips and pulse a few times until roughly chopped. Add the toasted almonds and chop coarsely, using 6 to 8 on/off turns.

- Form the dough into four, 14-inch-long by 2-inch-wide logs and place them on the two prepared sheets, spacing evenly. If the dough is too sticky, moisten fingertips before you shape it. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting in the refrigerator, position a rack in the center of oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake one sheet at a time until light golden brown, or about 25-30 minutes. Transfer the sheet to a rack and cool completely. Repeat the process with the second sheet.
- Reduce the heat to 300°F. Transfer the logs to a work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut each log crosswise into ½- to ¾- inch wide slices. Arrange half of the biscotti cut side down on cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes.
- Gently turn the biscotti over and bake 7-8 minutes longer. Do not over cook. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat baking the remaining biscotti. Cool completely.

These have such a unique wonderful flavor that surprises everyone who tries them. The combination of the rosemary with the sweetness of the apricot is a great flavor.

SHERRY ROSEMARY APRICOT JAM
Steps:
- Wash 2 pint jars (or a few half-pint jars) so that they are ready to go when your preserves are ready to be canned.
- Add the apricots to the boiling water in a bowl along with 1/2 cup sherry and the rosemary sprigs. Let soak until the apricots are rehydrated, about 30 minutes. Strain the apricots, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. Add the apricots, reserved liquid and lemon zest to a large non-reactive pan. Stir in the pectin.

- Transfer the cooked jam to the jars. Let the jam cool to room temperature. Serve right away, or keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

ROSEMARY BISCOTTI
This is the only savory biscotti recipe I have ever found...it is a great accompaniment for any soup. I only use a third of the rosemary called for in the recipe and found it to be enough. I've also added a little poultry seasoning if I'm serving it with chicken soup. Original recipe is from Canadian Living Mag.

Tips for Baking Perfect Rosemary Apricot Biscotti
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured and prepared, including chopped apricots, rosemary, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and eggs. This will help you stay organized and ensure you don't miss anything. - Use Fresh Rosemary: Fresh rosemary provides the best flavor for these biscotti. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use dried rosemary, but reduce the amount by half as it can be more potent. - Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps firm it up, making it easier to slice and shape. This step also helps develop the flavor and texture of the biscotti. - Slice Biscotti Evenly: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the biscotti evenly. This will help ensure even baking and a more professional look.Conclusion
Rosemary apricot biscotti are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own, dipped in coffee or tea, or crumbled over yogurt or ice cream. With their unique flavor combination of rosemary and apricots, these biscotti are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these biscotti a try!
