Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 firm-ripe large apricots
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup Disaronno Amaretto liqueur
6 amaretti (Italian almond macaroons; if paper-wrapped, use 3 packets), crumbled (1/3 cup)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped pine nuts for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel apricots with a vegetable peeler, then halve and pit. Finely chop 2 halves and set aside.
  • Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook sugar, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Stir in Amaretto (be careful; syrup will spatter) and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.
  • Working in 2 batches, poach apricot halves in syrup at a low simmer, turning, until almost tender, 5 to 10 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer apricots, hollow sides up, to a platter.
  • Add crumbled amaretti to syrup and cook over low heat, crushing cookies with back of a wooden spoon, until melted into a coarse purée.
  • Stir in reserved chopped apricot and gently simmer, stirring, until syrup is deep brown and slightly thickened. Cool syrup slightly.
  • Spoon syrup over apricots and sprinkle with pine nuts (if using). Serve warm or at room temperature.

I followed the recipe exactly and the apricots turned out perfectly. They were soft and juicy with a slightly caramelized exterior. The syrup was also delicious and I used it to make a sauce for ice cream.

This dish is a delightful twist on classic apricot flavors. The amaretto syrup adds a subtle nutty sweetness that complements the tartness of the apricots. I highly recommend serving this as a special occasion dessert.
