Amaretti and apricot fool

I am in SW France right now, where the daily temperature is always in excess of 35 degrees centigrade, I am not that keen on being in the kitchen baking when I could be outside sunning myself or doing some light gardening. So, I have devised a simple almond and apricot recipe that fits in with my current lifestyle, as well as being light and refreshing.

The recipe is shared below, and I recommend these simple creamy pots for all summer occasions, such as picnics and barbecues; they can be served in any container, such as little jam jars, teacups and saucers, as well as in little (antique) glass basins as I served mine. They are easy to make and can be popped in the fridge until they are ready to be served, giving you more time to have a glass of wine and enjoy the party! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did when I last served them, and don’t forget the apricots can be oven roasted the day before for ease of preparation on the big day or night.
