Apricot/Orange Honey Challah
One part of my addition to today's Easter meal at my sister's. Yes I know the photo is slightly over exposed, I like it!
Original recipe from Smitten Kitchen (fabulous recipes):

No figs in the house, dried apricot paste though (I have no idea why, it was just there). The juice from Seville and Cara Cara oranges, a tich of honey, some water, bubbled until it was nice and pasty.
Using the technique and challah bread recipe from the above link. Worked out lovely!!!
I also mixed some of the leftover Orange/Apricot/Honey paste with butter and honey to make a spread for the challah.
I had only originally planned on making one loaf. Bit of an oops when I was making the challah. I had been debating between two recipes, this one calling for two eggs, the other 5 eggs, moment of brain fart. Adjust ingredients into two loaves. I'm actually pleased this happened as my first attempt at braiding wasn't quite so pretty. This ones better but I have some experience to gain. Think I was being too gentle with the dough. I'll hopefully remember next time.
Best get going, buns in the oven and just about time to butter them as the are almost finished cooking. Might or might not get a photo of them. >.>
