Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For apricots
1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sugar
3 (4- by 1-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 pounds firm-ripe fresh apricots, halved lengthwise and pitted
For zabaglione
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dry white wine (preferably Swiss)

Steps:

  • Poach apricots:
  • Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a 2-quart saucepan, then add pod, water, sugar, zest, and salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, then boil 1 minute.
  • Carefully add apricots, then reduce heat and poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until fruit is tender but still holds its shape and skins are still intact, 2 to 6 minutes. Transfer apricots and syrup to a large shallow bowl and cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Make zabaglione:
  • Beat together yolks, sugar, and wine in a deep 4-quart metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer at medium speed or whisk vigorously until combined well.
  • Set bowl over a 4-quart pot of barely simmering water and beat mixture until tripled in volume, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • To serve:
  • Spoon 2 or 3 apricot halves into each of 6 glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm apricots. Overripe apricots will break down during the poaching process, while underripe apricots will be too tart.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the apricots from scorching.
  • Cover the saucepan while the apricots are poaching. This will help to create a steamy environment that will help to soften the apricots.
  • Let the apricots cool in the poaching liquid. This will help them to absorb the flavors of the liquid.
  • Serve the apricots at room temperature or chilled. They can be served on their own, or with yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Honey vanilla poached apricots are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for a summer party or a special occasion. The apricots are soft and juicy, with a delicate flavor of honey and vanilla. The poaching liquid can be used to make a delicious sauce, or it can be simply drizzled over the apricots. These apricots are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
