INSTRUCTIONS

ICING
Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder & salt. Stir in the
apricots & nuts.  Add the syrup. Stir until the mixture forms a thick
batter.
Spread the batter into a lightly oiled 8" X 8" baking pan (it is hard work,
but it will cover -- trust me!). Bake at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes or until
the bars test done. Allow to cool slightly, cut into bars. When completely
cool, spread with icing & drizzle some melted chocolate over the top if
desired.
ICING: Cream together sugar & shortening.  Add remaining ingredients & beat
until smooth.  Makes 1/2 cup.
