Apricot Wraps

from Dan & Linda Riling

 1 cup California Dried Apricots

 1/2 cup Whole Almonds

 1 lb sliced Bacon

 1/4 cup Plum or Apple Jelly

 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce

Fold each dried apricot around an almond.  Cut bacon strips into thirds; wrap a strip around each apricot and secure with a toothpick. Place on two ungreased 15 inch by 10 inch baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at 375F for 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp, turning once.  Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine jelly and soy sauce; cook and stir over low heat for 5 minutes or until warmed and smooth. Remove apricots to paper towels, drain. Serve with sauce for dipping.
