Soak the apricots overnight, if you’re feeling lavish do it in sherry.

Melt the butter in a pan and sauté the onion until soft. Add the celery and cook for a minute or two.

Mix all the other stuffing ingredients and add an extra knob of butter.

Using a piping bag without a nozzle, fill the poussin cavities and secure with a poultry pin.

Place some strips of streaky bacon over the breasts of the birds.

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Cook in oven for about 50 minutes depending on the size of the birds.
