Ingredients
- 1/2 lb whole dried Turkish apricots or dried apricot halves
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup kaymak, mascarpone or crème fraîche
- 1/2 cup chopped unsalted pistachio nuts
Directions
- Place the apricots in a bowl, add water to cover and let stand overnight. Drain.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the apricots and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice and continue to simmer for 1 minute longer.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apricots to a baking sheet or large plate, reserving the syrup in the pan.
- Let cool enough to thicken slightly. If the syrup isn't thick, reduce it a bit over medium heat.
- If using whole apricots, carefully cut each apricot along the seam with a small, sharp knife to create a pocket.
- Using a small spoon or a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, spoon or pipe the kaymak or other filling into each pocket.
- If using apricot halves, spoon the kaymak or other filling onto the centers of half of them.
- Top with the remaining apricot halves.
- Arrange the apricots side by side on a serving platter.
- Spoon the thickened syrup over the stuffed apricots and refrigerate until the syrup is set, about 30 minutes.
- Bring the stuffed apricots to room temperature and sprinkle with the pistachios.
