SIMPLE ROASTED APRICOTS WITH HONEY MASCARPONE

By courtneyepowell

Ingredients

• 4 apricots, halved and pits removed
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup marscarpone cheese
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon chopped mint
• 1 teaspoon chopped lemon balm (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler. Place sugar in a shallow bowl. Dip apricot halves in sugar and
place in a oven safe dish. Place dish under the broiler and bake for 3 to 4 minutes.
Keep an eye on the apricot, and carefully rotate the pan as necessary. Sugar will
melt, boil and begin to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix honey into mascarpone cheese. Place slightly cooled apricots
on a plate. Top with a dollop of mascarpone mixture, and a sprinkling of fresh
mint and lemon balm. Serve.
These apricots are best served just after they’re baked
