Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup Cognac or other brandy
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 pounds firm fresh apricots, quartered lengthwise and pitted (4 cups)
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Cook sugar in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully add water, then add Cognac and lemon juice (caramel will harden and steam vigorously) and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Stir in apricots and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apricots are tender but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Overall, this is a good recipe. With a few minor adjustments, it could be even better.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my taste. I would thicken it up next time by adding a cornstarch slurry.

The apricots didn't turn out as soft as I would have liked. I think I may have cooked them for too long.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of cognac, so I used brandy instead. It turned out just as delicious. The apricots were perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover apricots. The caramel cognac sauce is a nice touch. I served it over ice cream and it was a hit!

I used dried apricots instead of fresh and they turned out great. The sauce was also very easy to make. Will definitely make this again!
