Ingredients

3/4	cup	apricots	snipped into small pieces
2	cups	water
1/2	cup	sugar
1	x	cinnamon stick
1	cup	flour, all-purpose
1	cup	sugar	to taste
1	teaspoon	baking powder
1/4	teaspoon	salt

1	each	egg	large, lightly beaten
1/2	tablespoon	vanilla extract
1/2	cup	white chocolate	good quality, chopped

Directions

Heat oven to 400.

Grease 12 muffin cups.

Boil sugar, water and cinnamon stick until sugar dissolves.

Add apricots and poach until tender (3-5 minutes, depending on the apricots).

Drain, reserving 1/4 c of poaching water if using evaporated skim milk.

In large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In a small bowl, whisk together milk (and reserved poaching water, if using evaporated milk--this gives a delicate apricot flavor to the muffin itself), butter, egg, and vanilla.

Add wet ingredients to dry, and combine in as few strokes as possible.

Fold in apricots and chocolate.

Fill each muffin cup 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

This recipe would work with many additions besides apricots and white chocolate.

All-Day-Long Crockpot Beef

My husband and I really like this. It is so tasty with the steak sauce tomato juice and worchestishire sauce. I doubled it for a large crock pot and otherwise followed it to a t. We will make it again.
