BAKED APRICOTS WITH HONEY image

Yield 1.5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

10-12 small, ripe apricots (about 2/3 pound)
2 tablespoons honey
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut each apricot in half and remove the pit. Arrange cut side up in a baking dish, cake pan and pie dish. Evenly drizzle the honey over the apricots, filling the hollow of each half. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake for 15 minutes. Using a fork, flip each half cut side down, being careful not to splash yourself with the hot syrup inside the hollows. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the apricots are soft to the touch and slightly wrinkled, but have not yet totally collapsed. Let cool and transfer to a jar or other covered container. Apricots will keep for one week in the refrigerator. • If your apricots are very soft and ripe, start checking for doneness earlier. If they are a little underripe or on the larger side, they may need to bake longer. • Enjoy the baked apricots and their syrup on top of yogurt, ice cream or cottage cheese, mixed into oatmeal, muddled in cocktails (or mocktails), spooned over cake or biscuits, or smooshed on toast with nut butter or cream cheese.
