Steps:
- Make apricot swirl:
- Simmer apricots and water in a small heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed, about 3 minutes, then transfer to a food processor. Add brown sugar and Amaretto and pulse to a coarse purée. Add almonds and pulse once or twice to coarsely chop nuts.
- Transfer purée to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
- Make scones:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter in cleaned food processor, then crumble almond paste and add to processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons almonds.
- Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and almond extract in a 2-cup glass measure, then reserve 2 tablespoons buttermilk mixture for brushing on scones. Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in remaining buttermilk mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Add apricot purée and stir once or twice to distribute without incorporating fully. (Dough will be wet.)
- Transfer dough with floured hands to a well-floured surface, then turn dough to coat with flour and pat into a round about 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick. Carefully transfer dough to lined baking sheet and cut into 8 equal wedges with a floured knife, leaving wedges together. (If dough is too soft to cut, chill until firm, about 30 minutes, before cutting.)
- Brush top and sides with reserved buttermilk mixture and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons almonds. Bake until golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of a scone comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a rack 15 minutes and cut wedges to separate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
ZAARBUCKS FAMOUS APRICOT ALMOND SCONES
In July 2005, five women set out to Florence Italy to found Zaarbucks, a chain of kiosks serving coffees, teas, jaffles, fudge and baked goods. Early on, the group's business manger, PanNan, figured out that customers hooked on their fabulous baked goods would soon gain so much weight they would stop buying their daily muffins and scones. Quickly Bergy and Derf began working on a new recipe for a deletable new scone that would be kind to the figure. Having developed a basic recipe for light scones, they worked with Madeleine M. to develop a range of flavor combinations that would rival none. Apricot-Almond was by far my favorite so today, one time only, I'm sharing the recipe with you. Don't tell 'em where you got the recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare baking sheet by spraying lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles course meal.
- Add the apricots and almonds into the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.
- In a smaller bowl, mix together the yogurt, sour cream, and extracts.
- Cut and fold the yogurt/sour cream mixture into the flour until you can collect the dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface just until it can be shaped. If the dough is too sticky add a little more flour but take care not to add too much as it toughens up the scones. Similarly, over kneading the dough also diminishes the final result.
- Place the dough ball on the baking sheet and spread out into an 8 or 10 inch disk.
- Lightly brush the milk on the top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar.
- Using a very long knife (bread knives work well) cut half way through the dough. You are making indentations, not actually portioning the scone. Repeat until the scone has been divided into 8 wedges. (You can also cut into 12 pieces if you want smaller pieces).
- Bake the scones 20 - 22 minutes.
- Best served warm but cold is good too.
- Enjoy!
APRICOT SCONES
Popular served with tea in Victorian days, scones are making a big comeback. Apricots and nuts are stirred into the batter in this recipe I baked for the theme shower. Spread with Devonshire cream, they delighted the bride-to-be and guests. -Robin Fuhrman, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

- Pour boiling water from a kettle over the dried apricots and leave to soak for 30 minutes.Drain thoroughly. Save a little of the soaking water for the drizzle if you like.Tear each apricot open then chop roughly.
- Grate in the butter (dip it in the flour mixture occasionally if it gets sticky).Lightly rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips. It doesn't need to be completely combined with the flour, so don't worry if a few larger pieces of butter remain.
- Stir in the flaked almonds and the chopped apricots. Make sure the apricots are lightly coated in the flour mixture and aren't sticking together.

- Line two rimmed baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Combine apricots and Amaretto in a small bowl, and let stand for 20 minutes. Whisk flour, almond paste, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Combine almond extract with 1 1/3 cups heavy cream; drizzle cream over flour mixture and fold in just until flour is incorporated. Add chopped apricots and gently fold in just until a shaggy dough forms – if needed, add 2 more tablespoons cream.
- Divide dough in half and turn out on a lightly floured board. Use lightly floured hands to pat each half into a 6-inch circle. Place the two circles of dough on prepared baking sheets and cut each circle into 7 wedges. Chill baking sheets in the freezer for 20 minutes while preheating oven to 425°F.
- Pull the wedges slightly apart, leaving an inch between them, and brush lightly with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until tops are set, edges are beginning to turn golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool scones for 5 minutes on baking sheets before removing to a wire rack to cool.
