Caramelise 125 g sugar until light brown. Add 3 tablespoons of hot water and lemon juice and boil while stirring until the caramel has completely dissolved. Pour into an oiled, fireproof, flat form (approx. 3/4 l capacity). Place in a cool place for about 10 minutes until the caramel has solidified
Score the vanilla pod and press them apart. Boil up with milk. Remove the pod. Mix eggs and 75 g sugar until creamy. Gradually stir in the hot milk. Spread on the caramel. Pour hot water into a fat pan and place the mould in the water bath. Let it simmer in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C / convection oven: 150 °C / gas: level 2) for 50-60 minutes. Let it cool down and put it in a cool place
Drain the apricots on kitchen paper. Peel the kiwis and cut into slices. Turn the flan out of the tin and cut into about 8 pieces. Arrange with the fruit and decorate with mint
-Instead of a large mould, you can also use 4-6 small portion moulds for the flan. You will then need 20-30 minutes cooking time
-Practical: Flan caramel can easily be prepared the day before
