Verjuice apricots with brioche and vanilla ice-cream
The verjuice and bay leaves give an unexpected savoury note to the caramelised apricots.

Ingredients

  • 165 gm (¾ cup) raw caster sugar
  • 150 ml verjuice
  • 12 apricots, halved
  • 1 lemon, juice and peeled rind only
  • 4 fresh small bay leaves
  • To serve: good-quality vanilla ice-cream and toasted brioche

Method

Main
  • 1
    Spread sugar in an even layer in the base of a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat until starting to melt (2-3 minutes). Add half the verjuice, stir to dissolve, then add apricots in a single layer, cut-side down. Add bay leaves and lemon rind, cook until caramelised (4-5 minutes), then turn apricots. Add lemon juice and remaining verjuice, and cook until apricots are just tender. Cool in syrup and serve with vanilla ice-cream and toasted brioche.
