I have been making this since the book was first published and it is universally loved by all who taste it. I have since lost my book and am so pleased to have found the recipe on your great website. Many thanks. It is also delicious with tinned or stewed cherries and frozen berries, thawd and drained.

My mum used to make this for us but with tin black cherries (1-2 tins substituting the apricot quantity).
This was a recipe from a super super old Women’s Weekly book. She always made double because everyone wanted seconds. I’ve been trying to find this for years as she lost the book!!

ooo I simply LOVE Love love recipes passed down from nan’s and this one looks and sounds tops. Thank you so much for sharing your treasured heirloom recipe with us.

  This dessert is ridiculously easy and quick to make. The longest part is the time in the oven, lol,

  Thank you!
  Apricots are my favourite too! So often overlooked, so I’ll jump at anything with apricots!!

I think this would taste amazing – makes me remember an apricot slice I used to get at the tuckshop at school many many years ago – I think I might indulge myself for mothers day and make this!
