ALBICOCCHE AL FORNO (BAKED APRICOTS WITH AMARETTI)
A delicious Italian classic often also made with peaches, but I prefer it with apricots. The apricots are filled with amaretti cookies, amaretto, sugar and egg yolk and baked in the oven with white wine. They can be served warm or at room temperature and are delicious paired with vanilla ice cream or white chocolate mousse. However, I also love them on their own. They were a big hit at a party I catered for. However, at the party I had far too much filling for the apricots. Maybe I've made a mistake when multiplying the recipe. I will try it out again and make changes to the recipe if necessary.

Steps:
- Please note: I will have to check the amount of filling and the amount of apricots again, which I will do soon. If you decide to make it, please have some extra apricots ready.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F).
- Put amaretti cookies into a small bowl and pour the amaretto over it.
- Wash apricots and cut them in halves. Discard the stone.
- Using a spoon, take out some of the fruit flesh without hurting the skin. Roughly chop the fruit flesh.
- Add sugar, egg yolk and chopped apricot flesh to the amaretti cookies and mix. While mixing, crush the cookies with a spoon. Do not mix for too long; it's nice to have some cookie chunks.
- Fill the apricots with the mixture, ca 1 tablespoon per half.
- Put into a well buttered oven-proof baking dish.
- Pour white wine over apricots.
- Bake for ca 25 minutes or until done.

APRICOT ORANGE SYRUP WITH AMARETTO
My parents have an apricot tree, so I've eaten fresh apricots all my life. I'm used to eating them fresh only, but I recently purchased some apricots that ripened very quickly. I wanted to make a jam or syrup out of them and couldn't find what I wanted, so I made something up. The result is a very sweet, thick syrup. Leave out the amaretto if you don't use it in cooking.

Steps:
- Mix together the apricots, sugar, vanilla extract, orange juice, and amaretto liqueur in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the apricots are soft and have started to release their juice, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the apricots have broken down, about 1 1/2 hour. If mixture is too thick or begins to burn, stir in 1 tablespoon of water and mix well.
- Stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup water, and pour into the apricot mixture. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the mixture forms a thick syrup, about 30 more minutes.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm apricots: Look for apricots that are plump and have a slight give when gently squeezed. Avoid apricots that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a sharp knife to halve the apricots: This will help to prevent the apricots from tearing.
- Remove the pits from the apricots: Use a small spoon or a melon baller to remove the pits from the apricots.
- Make sure the amaretto syrup is cool before pouring it over the apricots: This will help to prevent the apricots from becoming too soft.
- Serve the apricots chilled: This will help to enhance the flavors of the apricots and the amaretto syrup.
Conclusion:
Apricots with Amaretto Syrup is a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal.
