  Made this twice so far. The first time I used nectarines and orange blossom water and it went down a treat. The second time I used peaches (couldn't find apricots either time) and rose water as I had managed to source it and it was so much better! The taste was more subtle and yet more magical. In my opinion, one fruit (if large) each is more than enough, rather that the weight suggested. I ended up with eight extra halves, so four extra portions. I also opted not to serve with yoghurt the second time around as one of my guests is lactose intolerant and it really was not missed.
