I was given some homemade pineapple preserves and remembered eating some apricot bars with coconut and walnuts in them and thought that the flavor or pineapple would replace the apricot just fine in the recipe. I know someone who could give me the recipe later, but didn't want to wait to make them, so I searched and searched for the recipe. Most of the "Apricot Bars" have oatmeal, sweetened condensed milk, or almonds in them. I KNOW this is the recipe that I've eaten before. I am so glad that I came across it! And I'm glad that I see that you use apricot pineapple instead of just apricot. I'll try to remember to post whether the pineapple by itself is good or not. Thanks! Happy Sunday!
