Qamarddin Lollies

It is so very true that necessity IS the mother of invention. It is only when you try to finish off some grocery with you, which you very well know may not push out in the near future, that you invent ways to finish it off without much fuss.

During last Ramadan, I had bought a packet of Qamarddin, which is basically preserved dry apricot sheets, to make juice out of it. Even though a tad bit time consuming, I used to love the end result, though nobody in my house were very fond. Once Ramadan got over, I knew for sure the remaining sheet is going to lie in the refrigerator and expire to glory. That is when I though, why not utilize it into a pudding. I googled for a recipe online and got one recipe, which unfortunately gave me something which looked like a juice rather than a pudding! OK, so now what do I do with it?? Then I suddenly realized that I had bought a set of lolly-holders and voila, there I converted into lollies, and the next day, it disappeared… In fact, I didn’t get even one of them to eat fully. I had to satisfy myself by licking from what was given to hubby and the kids. 🙁

Linking it to Akhila’s event, Dish starting with Q.
