mix well.

slice the green pepper into 1/4 to 1/2 inch strips.

hi zainab - thank you for the nice compliment and the invitation! :) i shall stop by to visit.

I would never have thought of adding apricot jam to a sauce like this.
I checked my blog for this time last year - we spent most of last September living off cooking apples from my garden and wild blackberries. I stewed them, baked them, made them into pie and crumble... but will have a browse to see if you have any more ideas for apply things.
TC - yup, it's actually a pretty common thing to do (at least, where i live).
apples & wild blackberries -- definitely sounds like perfect things to live off :) mine come from the grocery store! LOL, count yourself lucky.
