I have modified this from a recipe I have from 'The Family Circle -Jams and Preserves' book. It is lip smacking!! ;)
Add into TMX bowl:
*100g Apricot Jam (fresh made using 1kg apricots to 1kg sugar 25-30mins varoma -100oC speed 1-2)
4 eggs
100ml lemon juice
180g unsalted butter
80oC, speed 3, 7-8min
Enjoy on freshly made scones (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2344.75).
*To make with dried apricots rehydrate 100g in 125ml boiling water for 30min and add 125g caster sugar.

This sounds very nice. I was trying to think of something more descriptive to say. I can just imagine how lovely it would be on scones or even toast in the morning. Definitely to be made.

yumm... another great addition to my Thermomix recipe folder.... thanks Nay-nay.... :)
-
Yes thank you. I made some apricot jam a couple of days ago so will use some of that to make this. Yum. :)
-
Nay-nay, does the amount of dried make enough as a substitute in the recipe?
-
The amounts mentioned with the * is what you substitute. After soaking the 100g dried apricots add with the water they soaked in and the sugar to the eggs, butter and lemon. :) I used 100g of jam but looking at it again could very well use 200g. But mine turned out great.

I made this again today following this recipe - it was far too lemony (not like last time) So even though this is the original recipes measure I would only put in a squeeze (20-40g) of lemon so the apricotty flavour comes through. My sister still loved it but I know how yummy the last batch was. :-))
-
Yummmmm. How long is it safe to keep this? I want to make it as a Christmas present and have all the details on the labels.
-
I think it would be best kept in the fridge and should keep for at least a couple of weeks I should think.
-
Thanks Cookie
-
Yeah - I put a 2 week used by date on my bottles I give away. ;)

I just made this to put on some scones. I personally think it needs to be a bit more apricot-y. I did use the dried apricot method though, whether or not that made any difference. I think I will soak some more dried apricots, finely chop, and mix through my existing mixture to make it a bit more apricot-y and add a bit of texture too.

good idea!:D
