Apricot-Red Currant Filling

• 1¼ pounds (570 g) sliced apricots, plus juices (see Note)
• 4 ounces

Bright red, bracingly tart currants add a bright contrast of flavor and color to sweet, mellow apricots. Since apricots are so small, it’s not worth the trouble of removing the skin. Having the skin intact actually helps the slices hold their shape.
