I could not find Apricot nectar so I used peach nectar. I served it at a tea party for eight girls. It was gone in a flash! I was asked for the recipe. I made it a second time for my family. It was easy and oh so good!

I made this for a tea party at my home. The girls loved it! It was finished in a flash. There were eight of us and I was asked for the recipe. I made it a second time just for my family.
