Method:

1. Line the base of a 1.2 liter/2pt cake tin with non-stick baking parchment.

2. Drain the apricots, reserving the juice. Put the apricots in a blender or food processor. Add the fructose and 4 tablespoons of the apricot juice. Blend to a smooth puree.  

3. Measure 2 tablespoons apricot juice into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, then sprinkle over 2 teaspoons of the gelatine. Leave for 5 minutes, until spongy.

4. Stir the gelatine into half the apricot puree and pour into the tin. Chill in the refrigerator for 11/2 hours, or until firm.

5. Sprinkle the remaining gelatine over 4 tablespoons of the apricot juice. Soak and dissolve as before. Mix the remaining apricot puree with the custard, yogurt and gelatine. Pour onto the layer of set fruit puree and chill in the fridge for 3 hours.
