BACON-WRAPPED DRIED APRICOTS
Steps:
- Gently separate the two sides of each apricot and stuff with the almonds. Wrap each with a segment of the bacon. Arrange in a small nonstick skillet seam-side down. Cook on medium heat until the undersides are well-browned and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Turn the apricots over and continue to cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the maple syrup, vinegar and a few grinds of pepper and cook, shaking the skillet to coat, until the liquid has reduced and the apricots are glossy and browned all over, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a small plate and sprinkle with the chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TURKEY & APRICOT WRAPS
For these everyday wraps, I combined the traditional southern appetizer of jam and cream cheese on crackers with the turkey, apple and Brie sandwiches we ate at my bridal luncheon. I like to sneak fresh spinach into all sorts of recipes because it has such a mild flavor. -Kim Beavers, North August, South Carolina

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful apricots: The sweetness and tartness of the apricots will greatly impact the overall taste of the wraps. Look for ripe, plump apricots that are free of blemishes.
- Don't overcook the turkey: Overcooked turkey can be dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Use a variety of greens: Arugula, spinach, and mixed greens all make great additions to these wraps. Choose greens that have a nice flavor and texture.
- Spread the wraps with a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and add flavor. Try using a yogurt-based sauce, a hummus, or a pesto.
- Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and crispy vegetables all add a nice crunch to these wraps. Try adding sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, or shredded carrots.
- Serve the wraps immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
