Have you ever patronized a restaurant that doesn't have salt and pepper on the table? The assumption is that the food is already properly seasoned...
It is delicious. Prep time is about an hour, but I am hardly Martha Stewart. It is rich, rich, rich. A little goes a long way. I am makinga couple for gifts. I know they will be a hit. My fiancee remembered this from a dinner party 10 years ago. I didn't have the heart not to at least try it for his 50th birthday. It's worth the trouble!!!

Wonderful result. I have a very fuitful apricot tree and how fun to find a use for the pits. Taster's were delighted. However, there is no flavor of apricot but almond. Hardest part is crushing the seeds.
