  I made last night for my family. It was delish. It was easy to make but just to many pots and dishes to wash up. Will make again......

  This was really yummy, made with fresh apricots, could I use tinned or soaked dried ones instead?

  @janey that was I was wondering. I imagine dried apricots have a more concentrated flavour. Theoretically one could boost it with a wee bit of Apricot Jam (pure fruit content as high as possible).
