There I was at a Sukkah party, when I mentioned needing apricot nectar for one recipe and being unable to find it for love or money, when a woman said she finds a certain brand, and uses it in a cake she makes regularly, like every single week.
I knew right away I wanted that recipe. If it’s so good she makes it every week and no one gets sick of it? Got to be fabulous.
The next day, I messaged her on Facebook, and she gave me the recipe, and yup! It was a winner
