Malva pudding with brandy glaze suggestions
This recipe is so easy and perfect for a braai or camping trip, that you can even more it over an open fire. If you’ve made sosaties, you’ll already have dried apricots on hand for decorating and when grilled, increase their sweetness with that caramelised kick.
