Note

Check your blender's manual before blending ice cubes. If you have a standard blender, consider crushing the ice beforehand or using frozen fruit instead to protect the blades.

For a thicker crush, use more ice or freeze the pineapple juice in ice cube trays beforehand.

You can substitute fresh or frozen apricots if canned are unavailable, though you may need to adjust the sweetness with a little sugar or honey if desired.
