By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
5 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 120 g sugar
  • 1 cup verjuice
  • 8 apricots
  • 1 vanilla pod, split and seeds removed
  • 50 g almonds, roasted

Method

Place the sugar and verjuice in a small saucepan over a medium heat. When the sugar has dissolved, bring to a simmer and add the apricots and vanilla pod and seeds.

Poach the apricots for 5 minutes, or until they’re starting to soften.

Serve warm sprinkled with roasted almonds.
