Can not find apricot yogurt anywhere. Is there something else that can be used?
Cheryl Lawrence
Ditto on inability to find apricot yogurt. I did find apricot-mango. Can that be used? And, can I add vanilla extract?

For those asking for apricot yogurt substitute – just add 1-2 tablespoons of apricot marmalade or jam (Sclafani or Bonne Maman make good ones) and stir into plain yogurt. It will work and it’s yummy on buttered toast, too! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
