How to make winter apricot flan:
Apricots make a fruity, attractive dessert in this sweet spicy flan. Tinned apricots work surprisingly well but if you have your own preserved apricots they would work very well in this recipe.

approx. 2 lbs drained, tinned apricots
2 heaped tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Roll out the pastry.
- Grease you chosen flan dish.
- Line it with the rolled out pastry.
- Prick the base with a fork.
- Arrange the apricots attractively on the pastry, cut sides down.
- Sprinkle the apricots with the sugar and the spice.
- Bake at 200 degrees c. for 25-30 minutes.
- Serve with whipped double or clotted cream.
