watertank1, what quantity of dried apricots do you have? I'm wondering if you have enough to make an apricot version of the Three Ingredient Fruit Cake which is just dried fruit, flour and fruit juice, coffee or chocolate milk - most versions of that cake require 800g-1 Kg dried fruit.:-))

Café Neo’s Date Loaf (with dates & apricots)
2 1/2 cups SR flour ¾ cup brown sugar 2 1/2 cups bran flakes
2 Tbsp golden syrup, warmed (I use microwave)
3/4 cup each; sultanas, sliced almonds or walnuts (I like walnuts best!!)
1/2 cup each; chopped apricots, chopped dates
1/4 tspn baking soda 2 1/2 cups cold milk
Preheat oven to 160C.
Grease and line a large loaf tin.
Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. (Mix don’t beat.)
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for about 1 hour 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
(May take a slightly shorter time to bake. Won’t take any longer.)
