I do know that these freeze well, but I’m not sure about the gluten free option. Hopefully someone else with experience will pipe in with an answer!

has anyone tried making these gluten free? How about freezing them? that’s my goal.

Hi Laura-my first response on your site…In looking at your dialogue with Aussies I am reminded to tell you that their cups are a little larger than ours, though I have found if I am consistent with the measurements I use (ie all aussie or all US, then it translates okay). By the way, the butter in Australia that I saw was in a 500g. block (a little larger than a pound-it looks like four of our sticks in one block), thus it would be equivalent to 4 sticks of butter, better to measure in cups for my fellow Aussies. There may have been 250g. rectangles of butter but I don’t remember them where we were.

Thanks Laura!

We get our butter in a 250gram rectangular shaped block. So your 2 ’sticks’ would be the same as our 1 ‘block’.

I’m all set to try this out now.

Yummy!! Hummmm…wonder how these would taste with apples rather than apricots??

I might just share this recipe with my mom who is diabetic…I think she could handle these.

Thanks for sharing!

Catherine…you are never a pain!! I LOVE learning the different terms used in Australia for cooking too! A stick of butter equals 1/4 pound, or 1/2 cup. So this recipe calls for 1 cup of butter. What form does your butter come in there?

They sound delicious. Sorry to be a pain, but can you tell me how much is a ’stick’ of butter? Thanks.

Laura,
These sound delicious! I think I will need to add this to next week’s menu plan. I love that you can incorporate soaking! When I first saw your title, I assumed it would call for apricot jam, but much to my delight, you call for dried apricots! Thanks!
Blessings,
Michele
