In small saucepan bring apricots and orange juice just to boiling. Pour into large bowl; cool to lukewarm.

Add remaining ingredients except almonds. Mix just to blend thoroughly. Gently mix in almonds. Turn into pan; level top.

While still slightly warm, wrap securely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Slice to serve.

Flavor is best if bread is allowed to stand 24 hours before serving.

*To toast almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in 350 degree F oven and bake 5 to 10 minutes or until almonds are light brown; stir once or twice to assure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to brown slightly after removing from oven.
