A perfect summer dessert!
I've been eating a lot of apricots lately. I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's because they are small and easy to eat. Maybe it's because they offer just the right balance of sweet and sour that my citrus-loving palette so craves. Maybe it's because they were on sale at Sainsbury's (a punnet--whatever that is--for £1.99--bargain!).
I have a very distinct memory of my grandmother showing me how to open, stone and eat apricots when I was very little. Had I not had that lesson, I may not know what to do with an apricot, other than spread it on my toast as jam.
It is the easiest thing in the world. And in case you're after a yummy summer dessert, I thought I would share this one, compliments of the back of the pummet carton--it takes about 3 minutes and is easy-peasy:
1. Half and stone a couple of apricots
2. Put a small dollop or creme fraiche or mascarpone cheese (I used a lite creme fraiche) and sprinkle a little brown sugar on top
3. Place under the broiler (or 'grill' as they call it here) for a couple of minutes until so that the sugar caramalizes.
4. Voila!
