I was searching for duck fat at an upscale market (didn't have it...was going to use it for the chicken livers...knew it was hopeless when a stock boy told me to look in the dairy section.)
Anyway, in the expensive cheese section (where I had started my search) they had a small container of dried apricots, slit (like a book), stuffed with sweetened mascarpone with crunchy pieces of pistachio pressed into the exposed creamy band of cheese.
A nice and simple combination that hit all of my happy buttons. Plus I got iron out of the deal!
Score!
