I would consider eating this IF good apricots were to be had in this country. I might yet make it with nectarines or very ripe peaches. Not much washing up either...
I'll try that again!
That does look tasty - in fact quite a few from the website look good. It's a pity it says canned fruit won't work because that's probably the easiest way of getting decent apricots. It might work with soft ripe pears but I find that usually means buying some then keeping them for several weeks to finish ripening...

Bear in mind that even the most disappointing fresh apricots remember how to be tasty when cooked - unlike tinned ones, which seem to have lost their flavour since the canners changed to skinning them. For years I have dealt with fresh apricots by halving them, bringing sugar and water to the boil, and dropping them in, and then leaving them to cook off the heat. Just enough cooking to wake the flavour up!
Shut up, I'm counting
