APRICOT LOAF

Steps:

• Grease a 7'x3'x2' loaf tin.
• Pour a (250ml) cup of boiling water over fruit, sugar and butter.
• Add the eggs and flour.
• Pour into the loaf tin and bake in a moderate oven for about 45 minutes.

SUN OVEN APRICOT ALMOND HONEY LOAF

Steps:

• Set Sun Oven out to preheat. Butter and flour a standard loaf pan; set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, honey, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until blended. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just moistened. Fold in the apricots, almonds, and lemon peel. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the Sun Oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours. Set the pan on a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely on the rack. In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the glaze. When the loaf has cooled, brush the top with the glaze mixture.

ORANGE & APRICOT LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. In a saucepan, heat the apricots with the orange zest and all but 1 tbsp of the juice. Simmer gently for 5 mins until the apricots have absorbed all the juice. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour. Stir in the cooled apricots. If the mixture is dry at this stage, add a drop of milk.
• Scrape the batter into the tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 mins-1 hr until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins before removing, then leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Gradually add the reserved orange juice to the icing sugar, stirring until smooth and slightly runny. Drizzle the icing in a zigzag pattern over the top of the cake and leave to set.
