One of our favourite summer recipes was apricots bottles with nutmeg, cardamom and ginger. A bottle of these truly transforms the tradtional Eton mess. Try this ; blitz a bottle of these in food processor with 50% of the jar liquid, fold into 300g of mascarpone. Layer with home made meringue, apricot halves and crushed pistachios.
