250g dried apricots, diced
2 x 250g packets of Marie biscuits
250g butter
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
395g can Sweetened Condensed milk
⅓ cup dessicated coconut
Method:
Lightly grease a 30cm x 20cm (approx) slice tin and line it with baking paper.
Process apricots in a food processor until finely chopped (dice apricots with a knife if you don’t have a processor).
Transfer the apricots to a large bowl.
Add the biscuits to the processor (about half a packet at a time) until they are finely crushed. Note: use a rolling pin or a meat tenderiser to break up the biscuits if you don’t have a processor. Make sure you put the biscuits in a plastic bag first to do this.
Combine the butter, sugar and condensed milk in a medium saucepan. Whisk over a low heat until the butter is melted.
Bring to the boil, continually whisking and turn off the heat. Add the butter mixture to the apricot and biscuit mixture and stir until combined.
Spread and press the mixture into the prepared slice tin, smooth the top and sprinkle with coconut.
Refrigerate until firm and cut into squares.
Note: Suitable to freeze.
