Apricot Barley Casserole

SUBMITTED BY: Diane Swink

"It doesn't take long to put together this pretty side dish dotted with dried apricots and golden raisins. Then just pop it into the oven and enjoy the aroma! Diane Swink of Signal Mountain, Tennessee writes, 'My mother was a farm girl who helped feed the threshers during harvesttime. They always asked for seconds of this.'"
