Made this last night with peaches instead of apricot and it was fantastic. Great for company as it's easy but tastes fantastic.

Easy. Great taste. I used my mom's homemade apricot jelly/preserves and it was great.

Very tasty. I let it marinate in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Moist and flavorful.
