    The most wonderful ideas:j

    Why am I so lacking in imagination. OH only mentioned last week that he would like a crumble and I was positive we had nothing for one.

    I think I need to go out and buy more now.

    Thank You All:beer:

    Our favourite winter pudding: Apricot & Banana Crumble

    Filling
    6oz Apricots
    1/2 pint water or fruit juice
    2 large bananas sliced

    Crumble
    2 oz butter or margerine
    3oz wholewheat flour
    3oz porridge oats
    2 oz brown sugar
    4 tablespoon oil(pref sunflower)

    Soak apricots in water or fruit juice overnight or bring to boil & simmer until soft. Put a mixture of Apricots & bananas in greased oven proof dish and cover with the liquor from the fruit.

    Rub the fat into the flour then mix in oats,sugar and oil. Sprinkle over the fruit and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.

    Very good with icecream.

    Try this:

    Muesli Slice

    1 cup = 250ml volume
    1/2 cup = 125ml volume

    Ingredients:
    2 medium size eggs beaten
    4 oz butter
    2 tbsp honey
    1 cup natural muesli (even better with deluxe nuttier ones)
    ½ cup brown sugar
    ½ cup desiccated coconut
    ½ cup currants
    ½ cup chopped dried apricots (I usually use the no need to soak ones)
    ½ cup wholemeal flour (plain or self raising)
    ½ cup flaked almonds

    Method
    1. Preheat oven to 160°C
    2. Grease and line the base of a deep sided 19cm x 29 cm traybake tin
    3. Melt butter and honey together gently in large pan. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
    4. Add all ingredients to pan except eggs and mix well.
    5. Then add beaten eggs and mix well.
    6. Press mixture into tin and bake for 30-35 mins.
    7. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool. Cut into slices with sharp knife to serve.

    Enjoy!

    Hi
    Years ago someone made me some delicious concotion involving crushed rich tea biscuits, melted white chocolate and chopped dried apricots.

    Does this ring any bells with anyone? Would anyone have the recipe pls?

    Sorry it's so vague! :o
