Ingredients
- 6 ounces dried apricots
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 to 6 oz kaymak cheese (or marscapone cheese or Greek yogurt that has been strained for 2 hours)
- 30 grams pistachios, crushed (crushed 1/3 cup)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Soak apricots in a bowl of cold water for 8 hours (or overnight). Keep in the fridge. In the morning they will be plump.
-
Step 2: Drain off the soaking water into a small saucepan - there should be about a cup of liquid. If not, add a little water to make up the difference.
-
Step 3: Add sugar and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
-
Step 4: Remove the pan from the heat and add reserved apricots. Let sit in the syrup until cool to the touch (or until needed). The syrup will make the apricots shiny.
-
Step 5: Peel apricots halfway open and stuff with kaymak, marscapone, or Greek yogurt. You may find a few of the apricots are a little too soft - enjoy those while you work! For stuffing, use a piping bag, although a spoon work work as well.
-
Step 6: Garnish with crushed pistachios and enjoy!
