  1. Very good! I used fresh apricots from the farmer's market. I substituted OJ, vanilla and a bit of almond extract for the cognac. Wonderful served warm with the powdered sugar. Also good with vanilla ice cream. Also, this is very quick to whip and bake. Thanks for suggesting this, evelyn! I will make this again.
     
  2. I made this with halved tinned apricots, and left them like that so they poked up like egg yolks through the batter. I also had no cognac, so used an orange liqueur which was good. Using the halved canned apricots, I had this mixed and in the oven in 5 minute. that's a plus, so is the fact it is quite low in fat-I also used a lower fat milk.
     
  3. We have an abundance of peaches right now, so I used those instead of apricots. Very flavorful! The custard wasn't quite what I was expecting, but tasty none-the-less. We had ours with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Very nice!
     
  4. Made just as recipe calls for..even went and bought cognac..and had a glass while it baked..lol..this was super..will make again..Thanks
     
  5. Ooh yum! I was expecting the clafouti part to be a bit more spongey, but it was more like a custard. This was great! Nice and simple, I subbed almond extract and an extra Tb of milk for the cognac, and I also used canned apricots for economy's sake. Delish! I will definitely make this again.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
