| 1. Place apricots in a small pan with just enough water to cover. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for a couple of minutes Set aside to cool enough to be able to handle then drain them saving the apricot water. | 2. Chop when cool enough, you need 1 cup. Save 1/2 a cup of the drained water or add enough water to make a 1/2 cup if it's short. | 3. Preheat oven to 350°F . Butter and flour a 9 x 5 x 3-inch metal loaf pan. | 4. Stir first 5 ingredients together in medium bowl to blend and make a well. | 5. Add the well drained and chopped apricots and mix to coat the arpicots. | 6. In another bowl whisk together honey, sugar, oil and eggs in large bowl until blended, about 3 minutes. You can do this with a mixer if you wish but if the honey flows easilt it's very easy by hand and saves getting the mixer out. | 7. Microwave the saved water to bring to a boil. | 8. Pour into the dry ingredients and fold just enough to start getting it mixed. | 9. Add in 1/2 cup boiling water and continue folding until almost fully mixed. It's ok to have some dry flour or some small lumps. | 10. Transfer batter to prepared pan. | 11. Bake until loaf is brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. | 12. Cool in pan 10 minutes. | 13. Turn out onto rack. Wrap warm cake in foil and store at room temperature until used up. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
