Notes

If serving this as an afternoon tea item, leave off the whipped cream or icecream. Dust with icing sugar as per the photo.
It is also wonderful reheated and served with custard in the cooler months of the year.
Swap the apricots for canned black cherries, drained. Reserve the juice for making a jelly for those on texture modified diets.
