  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   c            Raisins, dark or golden
     1/4   c            Unsweetened Apple Juice -or-
   1       pk           (or 1 tablespoon) Active Dry
     1/3   c            Milk, heated to lukewarm
     1/2   c            Flour
   2       T            Sugar
     1/4   t            Almond Extract
   1                    To 1-1/2 cup  Flour
     1/2   c            Low-Sugar Apricot Preserves
     1/4   c            Dried Apricots, chopped
                        -Rum
                        -Yeast
                        -(105 to 110 degrees)
     1/2   c            Margarine
     1/4   t            Salt
   1       t            Lemon Rind, grated
     1/2   c            Sliced Blanched Almonds

  Combine the raisins, apricots and apple juice (or rum)    
  in a bowl.  Let soak overnight or for at least 4          
  hours. Combine the yeast, milk and the 1/2 cup of         
  flour in a bowl.  Mix until smooth and the mixture        
  looks like think mashed potatoes.  Cover the bowl with    
  a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 10          
  minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Meanwhile, cream       
  the margarine, sugar, salt, almond extract and lemon      
  rind. Beat in the yeast mixture and 1-1/4 cups of the     
  flour.  Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured         
  surface and knead in about 1/4 cup more flour, or         
  until the dough is soft.  Knead for 3 minutes.  Put in    
  a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel and let rise      
  in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.    
  Once the dough has doubled, knead in the raisin           
  mixture and almonds. Knead until well mixed.  Roll the    
  dough into a rectangular 12- by 6-inch shape. Roll up     
  jelly roll fashion.  Place on a lightly-oiled baking      
  sheet and let rise about 30 minutes.  Bake in a           
  375-degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden     
  brown. Cool partially on a wire rack. Glaze the cool      
  but not cold stollen with the apricot preserves.
