• Remove apricots from oven. Let cool slightly and top with ricotta and pistachios. Serve immediately.

APRICOTS WITH HONEY-GINGER RICOTTA AND PISTACHIO NUTS

• Place the apricot halves on a serving platter and top each with a spoonful of the honey-ginger-ricotta mixture. Sprinkle the pistachios on top, and drizzle with the remaining teaspoon honey. Serve immediately.

BROILED APRICOTS WITH GINGER WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Heat broiler to high, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Squeeze juice from grated ginger into a large bowl (you should get about 1 teaspoon juice); discard pulp. Add cream and granulated sugar. Whip until soft peaks form; refrigerate.
• Place apricots, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Dividing evenly, top with brown sugar, butter, and cardamom. Broil until apricots just begin to char, 2 to 5 minutes. Top apricots with whipped cream, and serve immediately.
