    Made these little pots in ramekin dishes for Christmas 2007 for presents. I gave them freshly made, and they froze succesfully. My dad enjoyed this recipe so much, he has asked for a repeat Christmas present this year!!

    I made these for Xmas 2009 and they went down very well. Easy to do as well. I presented them in little ramekin dishes with the oatcakes from BBC Good Food as well and the two went very well together.

    Could you perhaps substitute the butter for a soft cheese such as mascapone?

    Tasty, I used roquefort and wizzed all up together (not for too long) to make a yummy dip. Am going to try maling balls and rolling them in the nutas and apricots then serve on a bed of salad as a starter.
