Prepare basting sauce, set aside.  Heat oven to 400F.  Wrap each
quail in 1 slice of bacon.  Place, breast side up, at least 1-inch
apart, on rack in a shallow roasting pan.  Roast uncovered for 30
minutes.  Brush generously with Apricot Basting Sauce.  Roast until
done, about 15 to 20 minutes longer.  Heat remaining sauce to serve
with quail.
