some reciepes I find wandering about in the bloggosphere...

this particulary one...I found on zorra's blog, the other day..

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

there was nothing else to do but try it!!

zorra is incredible...doing funny and interesting things all the time..

you do remember to join the BBD #11, don't youuuuu???

it is the one year anniversary!!

here you find the original reciepe in german:

Aprikosenkonfitüre mit Kokos ohne TM

here you find the italian version:

confettura di albicocche e cocco

here you find the swedish version:

aprikos marmellad med kokos

you need:

500 g Apricots

100 g tosted cocco flakes *

300 g white sugar

• 
  

put all ingredients in a big pot.

leave it marinate for some hours, 2 hours is enough.

then give it a stir , and then keep mixing with a wooden spoon, let cook for ca 6min.

if you want a perfectely smooth marmelade, now you take the pot of the heat and mix it with a immersion blender, you make it all smoooth.**

let stir up again an cook until the marmelade has reached the right density.

pour in perfectly clean jars, turn on the cover and put the jars to cool upside down.

leave them upside down until they are perfectly cooled.

store in a cool and dark place.

perserving time: 6-8 months (due to the fresh cocco flakes)

if you use fresh cocco, grate it and toast it in a hot pan

(without oil)

I didn't blender the marmelade, because I like it with pieces.
