3 matzos, soaked and squeezed very dry
Mix together the matzos, currants, almonds, apricots, egg yolks, matzo meal, sugar, lemon rind, and lemon juice.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the matzo mixture, adding matzo meal to make the mixture hold together.
Using an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2" of oil to 375°F. Drop the mixture by tablespoons and brown a few minutes on each side until they are crisp Cook only about three at a time.
Drain well on paper. Serve at room temperature or crisped up in the oven. The fritters are especially delicious with stewed prunes, with orange juice as an accompaniment, if desired. Or use the Passover Wine Sauce (click here for recipe) in this section.
