Poached Apricots With Greek Yogurt image

A luscious treat by Antony Worrall Thompson. It has such a rich texture. I even added a few strands of saffron before placing it in the oven. I didn't have Greek yogurt so I used normal yogurt that I had placed in a strainer for about 5 hours, worked just fine. Prep. time does not include overnight soaking time.
