Heat oil in a small to medium cast iron camp oven, brown shanks for about 5 minutes, add onion and cook for a further 5 minutes, add the spice, apricots and apricot nectar.
Bring to the boil on the stove top then transfer to the fire place, sit oven on sturdy wire rack over 4-5 coals, heat beads or a small amount of fire coals with the same amount on the lid and simmer over moderate heat for about 1.5 hours.
