Ingredients

12	small	apricots
12	each	almonds	whole
2	tablespoons	light rum	white rum
1/2	cup	flour, all-purpose
1/2	cup	cornstarch
3	tablespoons	sugar
1/2	teaspoon	salt
1/2	teaspoon	cinnamon

1/2	cup	water	plus 1 tb water
3	tablespoons	butter	melted
1 1/2	quarts	vegetable oil	for frying
1	x	powdered sugar

Directions

RINSE THE APRICOTS, slit the sides and remove the pits with a small spoon, leaving the apricots intact. Replace each pit with an almond. Place the apricots in a bowl and sprinkle the slit sides with the rum.

For the batter, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk in the water, then the melted butter.

Pour the oil into a 4-quart pan and heat it to 350F.

With a fork, dip the apricots into the batter and add to the hot oil 3 or 4 at a time, frying them about 6 or 7 minutes, until the batter is a deep golden and the apricots are cooked, but still firm.

Drain the fritters on absorbent paper as they are fried and keep them warm in a 300F oven.

To serve, sprinkle the fritters generously with confectioners' sugar.

Peaches and Cream Cheesecake

I made this for an office birthday and some describe it as the "dessert to die for". I made it exactly as indicated and did not find it to be missing anything.
