Apricot Kugel

Fran from New Orleans sent us this recipe, a tasty twist on a traditional Jewish holiday dish. She likes to serve it for brunch or as a side dish at dinner. Fran adds "About 25 years ago, I converted to Judaism. I developed my own kugel recipe after trying many published ones. Many women in my synagogue say my kugel is the best they've ever tasted!"
