I was skepitcal because of the apricot fruit. I love apricots but didn't think it'd go well as a main dish. I LOVE this recipe, and the sauce is fantastic! I'm so glad I decided to try it.

I was afraid that this would be too sweet -- we were pleasantly surprised that it was not. Very easy to preepare and attractive to serve.
