By Maverick19

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups dried apricots
• 3 Tbsp superfine sugar
• 3 Tbsp slivered, blanched almonds
• 1/2 inch piece of ginger, sliced
• 4 cardamom pods
• 1 cinnamon stick

Preparation

Step 1

1. Soak the apricots in 3 cups of water, in a large saucepan, for 4 hours or until plumped up.
2. Add the superfine sugar, almonds, ginger, cardamom pods, and cinnamon to the apricots and bring slowly to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by half and formed a thick syrup. Pour into a bowl, then refrigerate. Serve in small bowl.s
