Ingredients
- 3 oz dried apricots
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup shelled pistachios or almonds approx (can also use glazed nuts, as I did in pics here)
Instructions
- Soak the apricots in the water overnight.
- The next day, put the apricots and their soaking water in a small pan along with the sugar. Bring to a simmer and simmer approx 10 minutes so that the sugar is dissolved and the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Note that to here can be done ahead of time.
- Put approximately 1tsp of yogurt in the opening of each apricot and then press a pistachio or almond into the yogurt. Repeat with the rest of the apricots and serve with a little more nuts on the side for decoration.
