Apricot Paste

[Jmahl]

I have just come into possession of one kilo of Dried Apricot Paste. We used to call it fruit leather. It contains apricot, glucose, olive oil and preservative. The manufacturer is Mohamed el Shalati.

Now that I have it, aside from just eating it - what else can I do with it? Help!

Well, off the top of my head, roll out a sheet of it (it is quite thin, yes?) and spread it with a mixture of mascarpone, or mascarpone mixed with ricotta, chopped toasted walnuts or hazelnuts, and chopped, good, bittersweet chocolate. Spread 'er on and roll 'er up. Chill and slice into pinwheels. - or leave out the chocolate and add cardamom.
