Apricot Delight

My husband is an apricot fiend and has been forever. As a small boy he called them Cotticots and played tirelessly at his grandma's feet begging for Cotticot after Cotticot after Cotticot. He has passed this gene onto our son, except he calls them "sollies", as in "special lollies".

You know those little cubes called Apricot Delights? They have like a smidgen of dried apricots and a truckload of sugars, but they are so delicious. I started off trying to replicate that flavour, but they morphed into something else altogether. A different flavour but equally delicious and so much better for you.

Ingredients
120g macadamia nuts
500g dried Turkish apricots (organic if you can get them)
125g dessicated coconut plus extra for dusting
3 tablespoons filtered water

Combine nuts, apricots, water and dessicated coconut in a food processor until it's completely paste like. Lay baking paper into a shallow baking tray. Sprinkle some reserved coconut then scoop in the paste. Flatten with your fingers until it is level. Sprinkle the top with extra coconut and refrigerate at least two hours to set. Cut into bite size cubes. Yummo!
