To Reggie and everyone who asked questions:
The recipe I originally posted with a question was the 1 lb. size.  I got 
the recipe originally from the Bread-Bakers Archives  v099n009.txt  Sun, 31 
Jan 1999.
The recipe had no source listed, but I tracked it down to Electric Bread 
2nd Edition.
I have now formatted the 2 lb size recipe and it is below.
One of the reasons that the recipe may not have worked for me is that I 
used regular apricot jam.  The book says to use a jam with a high fruit 
content. Hopefully i can get it to work.  It sounds good.

    1 1/2  cups          water
    2      Tablespoons   butter
      1/4  cup           apricot jam
    4      cups          bread flour
    2      Tablespoons   dry milk
    2      teaspoons     salt
    1      cup           dried apricots -- chopped
    1      Tablespoon    active dry yeast
Originally I made the 1 lb. size and it turned out like a brick.  I will 
have to try an apricot jam with a higher fruit content and less sugar.  The 
book says to use a jam with a high fruit content.
The book says to use unsulphured apricots as the preservative sometimes 
deactivates the yeast.
