Step 2
Use as a filling between lemon macarons for a fragrant, non-cloying sweetness. (Other dried fruits can be prepared the same way to make a filling—especially tart rather than sweet varieties work better, such as unsweetened dried cranberries or dried blueberries, which have a great flavor and a beautiful color.)
