Date Slice BHG-Choice TV last night

accroul, May 19, 12:43am
Did anyone watch the Better Homes & Gardens prog on Choice TV last night! Some guy made a slice with pureed dates(250g!), finely sliced dried apricots & apples + brown sugar(1C!), butter(150g!) and a couple of other ingredients that I wasn't paying much attention to until the DH said it sounded nice (by which time it was too late) I'd love the recipe please if anyone took note of it.

I had a look see on their web page but couldn't see it. It wasn't a comprehensive look though. Good luck because it sounds nice. Do they repeat the program later in the week by any chance because sometimes you can catch it then.
