POACHED APRICOT HALVES



Poached Apricot Halves image

Poaching apricots takes little time. If you continue to simmer apricots in their poaching liquid, you'll have the start of a very easy jam; it will set without additives because of the fruit's natural pectin. Use this recipe to fill hand pies, top cheesecake, or amp up panna cotta.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar
3 strips (about 2 inches long) fresh lemon peel, pith removed
2 thin slices fresh ginger
7 cardamom pods, cracked
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped
12 small ripe apricots, halved and pitted (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a 4-to-5-quart pot over medium heat, combine 4 cups water with sugar, lemon peel, ginger, cardamom, and vanilla scrapings. Bring mixture to a boil. Cook until sugar dissolves, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Add apricots to pan. Rinse a double thickness of cheesecloth under cold water, and drape it over apricots so all the fruit is covered by the cloth and submerged in liquid.
  • Continue simmering until apricots soften slightly, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely. Use immediately, or transfer apricots and poaching liquid to a storage container. Make sure the apricots are completely submerged in liquid. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 4 days.

CHEESECAKE WITH POACHED APRICOT



Cheesecake with Poached Apricot image

This cheesecake really makes a statement, thanks to its unexpected square shape and the neat rows of gorgeous, glossy poached apricots. There's no crust -- you just mix the batter and bake it in a square pan, then turn out the cake onto a platter and top it with the apricots, letting some of their delicately spiced poaching syrup drip down the sides.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 8-inch square cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for pan
1 1/2 pounds (three 8-ounce bars) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
16 Poached Apricot Halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment. Set a kettle of water to boil.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in sugar, sour cream, and vanilla seeds.

  • Transfer cream-cheese mixture to prepared pan. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Place pan in a large roasting pan, and transfer to oven.

POACHED APRICOTS WITH PISTACHIO AND AMARETTO MASCARPONE



Poached Apricots With Pistachio and Amaretto Mascarpone image

This dessert, which manages to be both rich and wonderfully refreshing, requires very little effort. Make sure, though, that you use apricots that are at their very best. Other light dessert wines can be used instead of Sauternes.

Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     parfaits and trifles, dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Scant 1/2 cup/100 milliliters Sauternes
1/2 lime
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract)
1/3 cup/67 grams granulated sugar or caster sugar
6 medium ripe apricots (about 2/3 pound/280 grams), halved and pitted
3/4 cup/80 grams raw unsalted pistachios, toasted and finely chopped
2.8 ounces/80 grams hard amaretti cookies, such as Lazzaroni brand, roughly crumbled (you'll need two 2.3-ounce/65-gram packages)
1 tablespoons granulated sugar or caster sugar
8 ounces/140 grams mascarpone, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams heavy cream (double cream), lightly whipped to soft peaks
1 teaspoon orange blossom water
1 teaspoon lime zest

Steps:

  • Poach the apricots: Add Sauternes, lime half, vanilla, sugar and 3 tablespoons/40 milliliters water to a saucepan just big enough to hold the apricot halves in one layer. Place the pan over high heat and cook until the sugar has melted and the liquid boils.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and place the apricots in the hot liquid, cut sides down. Leave them to poach in the residual heat until they are soft but still hold their shape (20 to 40 minutes, depending on how ripe they are) flipping them every 10 minutes. Set the apricots aside to cool slightly. (If not serving immediately, transfer the apricots to a covered container and refrigerate until needed.) Squeeze the lime into the syrup and then discard it; return the saucepan with the syrup to medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup/70 milliliters, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside at room temperature until needed.
  • Prepare the mascarpone mixture: Combine pistachios, amaretti cookies and sugar. Add three-quarters of this mixture to a bowl with the mascarpone and mix it all together until combined, then fold in the cream.
  • To serve, divide the apricots and the amaretti cream between four bowls. Pour the syrup over the apricots and sprinkle the remaining amaretti and pistachio crumble over the cream. Finish with orange blossom water and lime zest and serve.
