I used maybe a tablespoon of the sugar, added a tablespoon of coconut oil and added just a dash of oj, rolled and chilled. Even the family members who aren't apricot fans enjoyed these.

I'm a huge fan of both apricots and coconut, and have fond memories of eating these as a kid. I did make a couple of changes, though: I omitted the lemon peel and doubled the orange peel; used the entire 1/4 cup of sugar in the apricot mixture; used 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice; and used 1 cup flaked coconut to roll the balls in instead of the sugar. I then placed them in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to firm up a bit. Very tasty! I also highly recommend using Califonia (slab) apricots...I think the flavor and texture is so much better than the Turkish/Mediterranean variety.
