  As I found the above measurements insufficent for 4 people, I multipled the ingredients to make six servings. As a result, there was just enough to serve 4. Lamb lovely and tender.

  Really good dish. The whole apricots are a bit too sweet so I think I'll chop them next time. I'll definitely make this one again!

  A bit on the sweet side, would probably use less apricots next time

  Lovely flavours, not too sweet to my taste. Very nice with a couscous salad and roasted summer vegetables.

  I made this for my Mum arriving to stay from France. It was ideal becuase I could leave ot to cook while I did the airport run! Fabulous recipe - dead simple, and everyone from kids to granny loved it.

  Absolutely delicious, made it the day before and the flavours had really developed overnight. My guests asked for the recipe - praise indeed. And my first time slow cooking lamb - this will become a regular in our house!

  Really simple to make and delicious. After reading the reviews, I did not add all the apricots and chopped them up quite small which I'm glad I did, otherwise I think the dish may have been too sweet as many of you have discovered. The lamb was lovely and tender. Will definitely be making this again. Give it a go.

  This is delicous, cooked the lamb for a little longer before adding the apricots to make it extra tender. Threw together some cous cous, lemon and coriander which made a nice combo.

  Sounds lovely - when I cook Moroccon I use a lot of ground almonds and crushed figs - this gives a rich sauce.

  Melt-in-the-mouth lamb and delicious flavours. I did, however, find the sauce too watery and would reduce the quantity to perhaps 500ml. Served with spiced coucous (from GF site).

  This recipe is so easy to make and extremely tasty. If you do not like things sweet then I suggest you reduce the amount of honey.

  Absolutely delicious. Served with couscous, spinach and rings of sweet potato. Used neck fillet of lamb and only half the stock stated in recipe.

  Really tasty dish! I followed other reviewers' suggestions and choped the apricots rather than keeping them whole, and I found it was still very sweet. Maybe next time I will use less orange juice or less zest. I have cooked it slow on the hob (as per recipe) but found that the stock needed a bit of refill about every 20 mins. It came out very creamy (I must admit, I used more ground almonds than suggested!) and the toasted almonds on top added a really nice crunch. Will definitely cook again

  Lovely, No left overs! With the fruity taste - kids would like it too. Not keen on big pieces of apricots - so def will chop those up into quarters next time. Def will do again.
