 Categories: Breads, Fruits/nuts, Desserts
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
     12 sm Apricots; -=OR=-
      6 lg -Apricots, halved
     12    Whole almonds
      2 tb White rum
    1/2 c  Unbleached all-purpose flour
    1/2 c  Cornstarch
      3 tb Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Cinnamon
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 c  Water; plus
      1 tb Water
      3 tb Melted butter
  1 1/2 qt Vegetable oil; for frying
           Confectioners' sugar
 
  RINSE THE APRICOTS, slit the sides and remove the pits with a small
  spoon, leaving the apricots intact. Replace each pit with an almond.
  Place the apricots in a bowl and sprinkle the slit sides with the
  rum. For the batter, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk
  in the water, then the melted butter. Pour the oil into a 4-quart pan
  and heat it to 350F. With a fork, dip the apricots into the batter
  and add to the hot oil 3 or 4 at a time, frying them about 6 or 7
  minutes, until the batter is a deep golden and the apricots are
  cooked, but still firm. Drain the fritters on absorbent paper as they
  are fried and keep them warm in a 300F oven. To serve, sprinkle the
  fritters generously with confectioners' sugar.
