APRICOT GINGER PEAR PARFAITS
Steps:
- Peel 4 pears (2 pounds) and coarsely chop (including cores), then transfer to a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Add apricots, ginger, water, 2 tablespoons sugar, zest, cinnamon stick, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice and simmer, covered, until pears are very tender, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and force mixture through food mill into a bowl. If desired, stir in up to 1 tablespoon additional sugar and cool sauce.
- While sauce is cooling, peel, core, and finely dice (1/3 inch) remaining 2 pears (1 pound), then toss with remaining tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl.
- Spoon 1/4 cup sauce into each of 6 (8-ounce) glasses and top each serving with 2 tablespoons diced pear. Then spread 2 tablespoons yogurt in each glass and top with 2 more tablespoons diced pear and 1/4 cup sauce.
APRICOT PARFAITS
This is from the food section of Real Simple Magazine. You can use either the shortbread cookies or replace them with chocolate wafer type cookies and use strawberry or raspberry preserves instead of the apricot. You may want to break the cookies up just a little.

Steps:
- Pour the preserves into a small bowl and stir until thinned.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the preserves into each of 4 parfait glasses (or other type of small glass).
- Top each with 1 cookie.
- Top cookie with 1/2 cup vanilla pudding.
- Top pudding with another tablespoon of preserves.
- Finish by topping each parfait with some cool whip.
Tips:
- Use ripe apricots for the best flavor. If your apricots are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with a banana for a day or two.
- If you don't have any apricot preserves, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of chopped apricots, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice in a saucepan until the apricots are soft and the mixture has thickened.
- To make the parfaits ahead of time, layer the ingredients in individual parfait glasses and cover them with plastic wrap. Store the parfaits in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Apricot parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up ripe apricots. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, try making an apricot parfait.
