Apricot-Raspberry Tartlets
Use your imagination to mix up these tartlets. I like to use fresh fruit - raspberries and raspberry preserves, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, peaches....

Ingredients:
| 3 tablespoons | apricot preserves |
| 12 | dried apricots |
| 1/4 cup | fresh ricotta cheese or creme frache |
| 12 | prepared mini phyllo shells |
| 12 | raspberries |
Directions:
Whisk together the apricot preserves and 3 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl; stir in the dried apricots. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap; cut a small slit in the center of the wrap with the tip of a paring knife to vent excess steam. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the plastic wrap (be careful to avoid the hot steam) and let the apricots come to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
Put 1 teaspoon ricotta or creme frache in each phyllo shell. Gently press 1 apricot into each shell, slightly to the side, and place 1 raspberry next to it. Drizzle a little of the sauce the apricots cooked in over the top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve.
