Here is a Julie Le Clerc recipe that is a fave of mine. White choc, coconut and peach friands.Heat oven to 180deg, grease muffin pans. Melt 100g butter and 100g white choc melts together. Place Ina mixing bowl with 1 cup dessicated coconut, 1 and a half cups icing sugar, half cup plain flour, 6 egg whites, 1 tsp vanilla essence. Stir until just combined. spoon into pans, top each with a couple of drained canned peach slices. Bake for 25 mins. Stand for 5 mins before turning onto a cooling rack. Makes 10. +++ I actually make mine in mini muffin pans and chop the peach slices up, cos they are very decadent!+++

KSR - don't you hate it when people are that nasty that they won't share a recipe with you. If someone asks me for a recipe, I am flattered they like my baking and happily share it. I have gotten some of my tastiest recipes from asking friends for theirs.

What about making the Chelsea packet apricot slice and add some coconut into the base mixture. Ice with passionfruit icing yum!

CHINAMAN CHEWS (made them for coffee grp & they all wanted the recipe!)
:: Melt 125g butter, add 1 Tbsp golden syrup. Cool slightly, add 1 well beaten egg. Pour into a bowl of: 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 cup dried fruit (I use 2/3 apricots/ 1/3 dates), 1 cup coconut, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup chocolate bits (can use 1/2 white and 1/2 milk choc). Combine and press into a slice tin. Don't worry if looks a bit thin as it will rise in oven. I leave it in the tray for a few mins before cutting up and removing so they don't break up (it's chewy).

Hey Lisa..... that sounds like an awesome idea. I will be one that will be eternally grateful!! Cant wait!!

Thanks kiwi girl Yeah I thought it was weird - If we moved in the same circles and it was world famous I would get it. But we don't - and my Mum has a lot of trouble with certain foods cos of a wonky liver and she ate this with no probs. Oh well! People have been kind enuf to give loads of recipes and it is all good kudos to them:)

ksr, I've found an Alison Holst slice recipe called Coconut Slice and I'm wondering if the Apricot Slice is a modified version of it. AH's pastry base recipe doesn't fit your description (it's just a basic flour, butter and water one), but the filling is raspberry jam and currants or sultanas (apricot jam and dried apricots perhaps??) and the topping is butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and coconut.

yum sounds good

ksr, here 'tis......................-
.. COCONUT SLICE.
Base: 1 cup flour, 75g cold butter, about 1/4 cup cold water.
Put the flour and cubed butter in the food processor, then process in bursts, while adding the water in a slow stream. Stop as soon as you can press the dough particles together to make a firm dough.
Refrigerate the dough for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile mix the
Topping: 175g butter, 1&1/2 cups sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 large eggs, 3 cups fine or medium coconut.
soften but do not melt the butter, beat in the sugar, essence and eggs, then stir in the coconut.
Roll out the pastry to fit a 23cm square pan or a sponge roll tin, and spread it with the
Filling: about 1/4 cup raspberry jam, about ½ cup currants or sultanas.
Drop the topping over it in blobs, spreading so most of the surface is covered – the topping will spread during cooking.
Bake at 220°C (fan-bake 210°C) for 10-15 minutes, then turn down to 180°C (fan-bake 170°C) and cook for 15-30 minutes or until the topping has browned evenly, and the centre feels firm.
Serve w

Oops, missed the last bit off - Serve warm, or cool in the tin before cutting into smaller pieces for a slice. Here's an alternative base (maybe) for the Coconut Slice???? I haven’t made the Coconut Slice but I have made a caramel slice using this base:- 3 weetbix, 1 cup each of flour and coconut, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 125g melted butter. I have modified this recipe to exclude coconut by using the same quantity of rolled oats and chopping them in the food processor. Perhaps this would be like the Apricot Slice base if you used 1/2 cup each of coconut and rolled oats or rolled oats instead of weetbix.– Where’s there’s a will I’m sure you’ll find a way to overcome the mean-ness of the one who wouldn’t share ‘her’ recipe. Good luck.

Baking Paper On the budget advice thread both Julie 28 and myself have said that we use baking paper more than once and I thought it worth a mention here. Took me a year of using it to think of doing this!
Isn't it the best thing since sliced bread!

Tried BREAD CASES for first time-I think they must have been in their heyday when you could get the very thin sandwich bread-green wrapper-because mine are too thick. Am defrosting a slice of sand. and one of toast-will roll them thin and see if that is better.
