An Antidote

As an antidote to the saffron cake I made some apricot crunch. I cannot in all honesty describe this as baking since there is no baking, or even skill, to it at all. You melt golden syrup, chocolate and butter in a pan. You mix together in a bowl some ground almond, crushed digestive biscuit, chopped dried apricot and sultanas. When the stuff in the pan is all melted you pour it onto the dry ingredients and mix them all together, then put it in a square tin and put the tin in the fridge for a couple of hours.

It's easy and it's gorgeous.

Which is more than can be said for saffron cake.
