Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
2 teaspoons fine julienne strips of peeled fresh ginger root
3 fresh apricots, quartered

1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted lightly
mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan stir together the sugar, the water, the lemon juice, and the ginger root and simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes. Add the apricots, baste them with the syrup, and poach them, covered, over moderately low heat for 3 minutes, or until they are just tender.
