Title: Apricot Candy Roll
Categories: Candy
Yield: 2 Pounds

3	c	Sugar
1/2	c	Peanut butter
1	c	Dried apricots, ground
1	c	Milk
1/2	ts	Salt
2	ts	Vanilla extract

In a saucepan, mix all ingredients except vanilla. Stir over medium heat until well-blended. Bring to a boil, and cook, without stirring until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water (238 degrees on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat, and cool until outside of pan feels lukewarm. Add vanilla, and beat until creamy and easy to handle. Turn out on buttered platter, and work with hands until very smooth and satiny. Shape into 2 long rolls, and chill for at least 3 hours. Slice into thin pieces.
