• 50 g butter
• ¾ c chopped dried apricots
• 400 g tin of apricots, drained and pureed
• 1/3 c honey
• 1 ½ c self-raising flour
• 1 c wholemeal flour
• ¾ c brown sugar
• 1 c oats
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 180 C and grease a slice tin (approx. 30 x 20cm)

In a saucepan melt the butter, and then stir in the honey and pureed apricots. In a mixing bowl combine the flours, sugar and oats. Mix and make a well in the centre and then pour in the egg and wet ingredients. Mix well and then turn mixture into the slice tin and smooth the top. Bake for about 25mins until golden. Slice into bars when cool.

That’s all from me this week. Let’s enjoy the Spring time and take time to smell the daffodils..or better still the freesias!

Happy stitching,
