quick apricot mousse

remember my strawberry mousse from last year? i thought that was pretty effortless. this is even more so. and three ingredients, to boot.
this is another offering from the same australian women's weekly menu planner i got the cream cheese flan from; this one's from page 54.

825 gram can apricot halves
2 teaspoons gelatine
300 grams sour cream

drain the apricots and reserve 1/2 cup syrup. sprinkle the gelatine over the syrup and allow to soften over a bowl of hot water.
puree the apricots, add the sour cream and gelatine mixture and mix until combined throughly.
pour into individual dishes and refrigerate until set.

isn't that easy? i'd suspect that it might be diabetic friendly if you used apricots in natural juice, but you should check that out with a dietician just to make sure.

apricot chicken

yes, i'm going to post this recipe, and what's wrong with that? i know there are fancy versions of apricot chicken, but wrong with the good old original? it's comforting, and sometimes this just hits the spot.

1.5 kilograms of you favourite chicken pieces
35 gram packet of french onion soup mix
425 ml can apricot nectar

combine the chicken, soup mix and apricot nectar together and place in a baking dish. place in an oven set to 180 degrees celcius and bake, covered for 30 minutes. remove cover and bake a further 20 minutes.
