Saute the pork, onion, and cabbage in hot oil until lightly browned. Stir
in the mushrooms, bean sprouts, currants, and almonds and saute, stirring
for 1 minute. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 T water, and combine with
sherry, soy sauce, and ginger; add to the pork mixture and bring to a boil,
stirring. Remove from heat and cool. Stack the egg roll wrappers and cut
in half to form rectangles. Forming one roll at a time, place a heaping a
teaspoonful of pork mixture on one end of rectangle, moisten the long
edges, and roll up. Press the edges together to seal. Egg roll may be
prepared to this point, then refrigerated for several hours or overnight
or frozen for several days before frying. Adjust time for browining. If
rolls are frozen, let them thaw before cooking. Heat the oil to 375
degrees F. and fry the egg rolls, 4 or 5 at a time, until golden brown and
crisp on all sides. Frying will take about 4 to 5 minutes; turn rolls
once. Drain on paper towels and keep warm while frying the remaining
rolls. Serve with warm Ginger Apricot Sauce.

small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncoverd, for
5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a blender container or food processor.
