BRANDIED FRUIT CLAFOUTI
A down-home French dessert, something between custard and a cake. It's "egginess" also makes it a sweet and special breakfast treat. This one is full of brandied apricots and raisins, with a touch of almond, lemon and subtle spices. The fruit needs to plump up in the brandy overnight (added to prep time); after that the rest goes together in less than an hour.
