Apricot Thrones With Cheese and Pecans image

This is a simple, elegant appetizer, with WOW taste. I found this several years ago in a cookbook I own called "Fast Appetizers" by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison. I forgot about it until I was just informed I'm hosting a 50th birthday party for my friend, AND MYSELF! Well, if I'm serving it at my own party, it's good! (I'll at least double it.)
