1 c Dried apricots, snipped

1 1/2 c Water or chicken stock

1 c Chopped celery

1/4 c Chopped walnuts or pine nuts

12 sl Bread, dry, cut small cubes

Bring the apricots and water (or chicken or turkey stock) just to a boil in a saucepan. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add the celery, nuts and bread. Toss lightly to moisten the bread and blend the ingredients. Spoon into an oiled baking dish with a cover. Bake in 350 F oven for about 40 minutes. Remove the cover the last 10 minutes of baking to brown the top of the dressing. 1/12 recipe - 118 calories, 1 bread, 1/2 fat, 1/2 fruit exchange 22
