ROASTED APRICOTS WITH DULCE DE LECHE



Roasted Apricots with Dulce de Leche image

This recipe calls for apricots, but peaches, plums, and nectarines roast beautifully, too. The traditional version of dulce de leche, a Latin American sweet, is full of fat, but this slimmed-down version is almost custard-like and is a great low-fat alternative to heavy cream.
