Method

Sift first 3 ingredients into a basin and rub in the butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Stir in the Chelsea Caster Sugar and lightly beaten egg. Knead lightly, wrap and refrigerate an hour.
Roll out half the pastry to fit a 28 x 18cm lamington tin which has been greased well. Cover with 3 1/2 cups filling and then the remaining pastry.

Glaze the top with a little cold water and sprinkle with Chelsea Caster Sugar. Bake in a hot oven 20-25 mins. Cool and cut into squares. Serve warm or cold with ice cream and/or cream. 

FILLING:
Place undrained pineapple and apricot halves in a saucepan and add all the fruit and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar. Stir over low heat until sugar has dissolved and simmer very gently, uncovered, 5 mins.

Remove from heat, cool and add brandy and juices. Pour into an airtight container, cover and allow to stand and leave 24 hours before using.
