INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drain fruit, reserving syrup in small saucepan. Bring to boil.

constantly. Add apricots; heat through. Spoon over scoops of ice
cream.
1999: Del Monte introduced canned fruit with spice and other flavors.
These new products essentially work as two ingredients in one.
IDEAS:
* SORBET - freeze two cans of Harvest Spiced Peaches; run cans under
warm water until fruit slips out. Dice fruit and blend in a food
processor. Serve immediately or return to the freezer and scooped
into dessert glasses later.
* SMOOTHY - blend Raspberry Flavored Peaches with some of the syrup
and vanilla frozen yogurt
* PUREED FRUIT - To cut some of the fat from muffins and to add
flavor, puree Almond Flavored Apricot Halves and substitute the
pureed fruit for some of the fat (up to 75%), or for the amount of
liquid called for in a recipe or on a package mix.
GENERAL ADVICE (from Prevention's archives): Experiment. You can
reduce fat in baked goods by using pureed fruit in place of fat. When
modifying a recipe, make changes gradually so that you keep the taste
as you make the recipe more healthful. If your recipe calls for a cup
of fat--start by substituting pureed fruit for one fourth the fat--if
you like the taste, next time substitute a little more.
