For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality apricot preserve with chunks of fruit. If you prefer a less tangy sauce, reduce the amount of Russian dressing slightly. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the apricot mixture for a subtle kick of heat. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
