  • I’ve forgotten what real apricots taste like – there are hardly ever any nice ones available – if I do get some I will be making this!


    • The markets do have delightful tasting apricots.

  • As apricots are already sweet you could make this without the sugar. Instead of using plain flour I would use chick pea flour which has a beautiful nutty flavour (and is nutritious as well). I would probably also add some coconut as apricots and coconut is a lovely combination.
