Step 1
I didn't specify the amount of almonds in the ingredients, since you'll need exactly as much as you have apricots. To peel the almonds, pour boiling water over them and let them sit for about 15 minutes. Then drain the water, rinse the nuts under cold water, and pour boiling water over them again for another 15 minutes.
