LUSCIOUS APRICOT SQUARES
I adopted this recipe late 2005 and finally made it in February 2006. I haven't changed a thing as it is great the way it is written. This slice has a shortcake like base with a cake-like apricot caramel top. Goes well with a dollop of whipped cream on top for a treat or dessert or leave plain and enjoy. :)

- Use an 8 x 8 square cake pan or a 7 x 9" rectangle pan. Line it with parchment paper and make sure you have an excess at the edges so you can pick it out of the pan. Pro tip - I find the square pan makes 16 even squares. But, you can use any pan similar in size.
- In a food processor - add flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, spice mix, and cold cubed butter. Pulse a few times - until crumbly. Not too much.Pro tip - we want a crumble with some small pieces and some large pieces of butter. These will give us a good texture and mouthfeel.
- Fresh Apricots - wash the apricots, score a cross on the bottom skin, and blanch them in hot water for three minutes. Then drop them in cold water so the skin peels off easily. Remove skin, chop them into smaller pieces. Pro tip - if using canned or frozen peaches please read the notes above for details.
