Expert Tips

Make it peachy by using canned peaches and peach preserves instead of apricots and apricot preserves.

Stirring the preserves first will make it easier to spread them on the cake.

This was very good! Made a few changes...drained the apricots and then used the juice in place of the water. Also mixed the preserves with about half a can of frosting and spread on top, then sprinkled with diced pecans. Everyone at worked loved it!!A keeper!!
