Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 1/4 lb firm-ripe apricots (7 large)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Special Equipment
an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bring sugar, water, and dried apricots to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let stand until apricots are softened, about 1 hour.
  • While dried apricots are standing, roast whole fresh apricots in a small roasting pan in middle of oven until soft, about 1 hour. Cool in pan, then peel and pit when cool enough to handle.
  • Purée dried apricot mixture, roasted apricots, lemon juice, and almond extract in a blender until very smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Force purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids and then discarding them. Chill purée, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

Yield Makes about 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 pound apricots, pitted
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the water and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring all the while. When the sugar has dissolved, add the apricots, return to the boil, and reduce the heat so the liquid is simmering gently. Simmer the apricots just until they begin to turn tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  • Puree the apricots and their poaching liquid in a food processor until smooth. Strain the mixture if you like, though it isn't necessary. Chill the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Just before freezing, whisk in the lemon juice. Freeze according to the ice cream freezer manufacturer's instructions.
