  2. Let the mixture soak for 15 minutes.
  3. Drain the apricots thoroughly.
  4. Pat the apricots dry with paper towels and finely chop them.
  5. In a separate bowl, stir together the chopped apricots, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely minced, adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or preferably longer, up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
