Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
5 fresh bay leaves, halved lengthwise, or 2 large dried California bay leaves
2 (3- by 1-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
2 (3- by 1-inch) strips fresh orange zest
6 fresh apricots
1 lb fresh cherries (preferably Royal Ann or Rainier)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups plain yogurt (preferably Greek)
Accompaniment: maple granola brittle

Steps:

  • Simmer sugar, water, bay leaves, and zests in a 1-quart heavy saucepan 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep 20 minutes. While syrup steeps, halve apricots lengthwise and remove pits. Run a paring knife crosswise around each cherry, touching pit, then twist cherry halves to separate. Remove pits with tip of knife. Toss apricots and cherries with lemon juice in a large shallow bowl. Return syrup to a boil, then pour over fruit, tossing to coat. Cover and let stand, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes. Put 1/3 cup yogurt on each of 6 plates and serve with fruit.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe apricots: Look for apricots that are plump, fragrant, and have a deep orange color. Avoid apricots that are bruised or have green tinges.
  • Prepare the apricots: Wash the apricots thoroughly and remove the pits. You can use a paring knife to cut around the pit or a cherry pitter to remove it.
  • Freeze the apricots: Freezing the apricots will help them retain their flavor and texture. Place the apricots in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until frozen solid.
  • Use a high-quality ice cream: The ice cream is the base of the sundae, so it's important to use a high-quality ice cream that you enjoy. You can use store-bought or homemade ice cream.
  • Add your favorite toppings: The toppings are what make the sundae special. You can add whipped cream, chocolate sauce, nuts, fruit, or anything else you like.

Conclusion:

Apricot sundaes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sundae that is both delicious and beautiful. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give apricot sundaes a try. You won't be disappointed!
