Looking for Dried Apricot Kamardeen Recipes?


I got some 'Ziyad Brand' Dry Apricot Kamardeen from the international store recently, and I was wondering if anyone had any good recipes they can make with it. Its pretty much a flat rectangle of dried apricot. Thank you for any answers.
Ok, apparently the people I'm cooking for are looking for a type of 'jello-like' recipe that uses this. It should be Middle Eastern in origin...They don't remember the name, so any help would be wonderful. :)

Well, I was actually looking for a specific recipe, but I came across your question. My aunt mentioned slightly about what to do. she just said to soak it in water overnight and then blend it with ice until it gets the consistancy of mango juice.

When I opened up the package, it wasn't sheets, it was one big sheet. so i cut it and i just put it in a container and put just enough water so cover it completely. I dont' think we should put too much water in it or else it will get too watery.
