Very tasty, not too sweet. My lamb was a little overcooked -my fault for cutting the cubes too small. Next time I'll make sure I cut the lamb into nice big cubes. Well worth making again for company or to take as a plate to a BBQ as it looks good too. Now I just have to look for a recipe for the rest of the apricot nectar... :)
