"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Apricot Cake Bars

 

Ingredients

2/3 cup dried apricots, packed
1 stick butter (1/2c)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 confectioner's sugar



 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put apricots in a small pan, cover
with water and boil gently for 10 minutes. Drain off water, cool and
cut into small pieces. Mix the butter, sugar, and 1 cup of the flour
together with a pastry blender until crumbly. Press into a greased
9-by-9-inch baking pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until lightly
browned. Sift together the remaining 1/3 cup flour, baking powder and
salt. In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar and eggs until
light. Stir in vanilla, the flour mixture, apricots and nuts. Spread
over the baked base. Bake for about 30 minutes or until set and
browned. Cool, then cut into bars. Wrap and freeze. Provise a small
bag of confectioner's sugar to sprinkle on when ready to serve.
