bev00, in the apricot and ginger slice above, how many grams of butter is it really!I appreciate a low-fat recipe, but somehow I get the feeling there really is supposed to be butter in it!

It is unbaked. 125g sweet biscuit crumbs;1 cup halved glace cherries;2/3 cup chopped dried apricots;3/4 cup chopped walnuts;1/2 cup coconut;1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk;125g butter,melted.Line base and sides of a 19cmx29cm lamington pan with foil.Combine biscuits,fruit,walnuts,coconut-
,milk and butter into a pan cont.

brianmac, Feb 12, 2:19am
large bowl,sorry ,stir until combined. Press mixture into prepared pan,spread with frosting and refrigerate till set. I guess you could omit the cherries and increase the apricots and perhaps some chopped crystalised ginger instead. FROSTING:30g butter;1 tsp vanilla essence;1 tbsp plain yoghurt;1 cup icing sugar;2 tbsp coconut.Beat butter,essence and yoghurt in small bowl till smooth and creamy,gradually beat in sifted icing sugar. Sprinkle coconut over frosted slice.

#409 Thanks Petal, I just found it and copied it to the recipe.Thanks too for all your amazing recipes and the time you take to type them all on here for us.I thoroughly appreciate your efforts Pam.xxxx

brianmac, Feb 12, 12:16pm
you are very welcome jen glad you enjoy them. I may yet have recipes and a glossary section on the website -just liaising with the web designer at the moment.

valentino, Feb 12, 1:11pm
Bumping is when one wishes to. either bring the thread or a post up to the top of MB section for another's attention or to keep it up for personal thoughts, or simply keeping the thread alive ( if near the end of the topic or on the very last page - faces possible extinction ), one uses the word "bump" for these purposes. One could write other things instead of using the word bumping as well as a form of bumping. Cheers, maybe a couple of other thoughts as well.

valentino, Feb 12, 1:15pm
Hmmm, what's going on. a moment ago was a post what is bumping now no longer prior post, is there a little worm playing up somewhere. Sorry but I'm a little confused on this.

jen92, Feb 12, 7:35pm
