Ingredients
- 1 cup Apricot Dried / Qubani
- ¼ ~ ⅓ cup Sugar (adjust as per taste)
- Vanilla Icecream cream / Whipped , to serve
Instructions
- Soak dried apricots in 3cups of water overnight, or at least 6 hours.
- Once the apricot are nice and plump, drain them reserving the soaking water.
- Remove the seeds from the apricots, then wash the seeds and crack them to open the kernels.
- Blanch the kernels in boiling water for 3~4 minutes, remove the skin and set them aside.
- Boil the apricots in the same water they were soaked, for about 10~12 minutes.
- Add the sugar and continue to boil for nother 3~4 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly. At this stage, you can either puree the apricots or leave them whole (like I did).
- Serve with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream and garnish with apricot kernels. Enjoy!!
