Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb whole dried turkish apricots
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup kaymak , mascarpone or creme fraiche
1/2 cup chopped unsalted pistachio nuts

Directions:

Place the apricots in a bowl, add water to cover and let stand overnight. Drain.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Add the apricots and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and continue to simmer for 1 minute longer.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apricots to a baking sheet or large plate, reserving the syrup in the pan.
Let cool enough to thicken slightly. If the syrup isn't thick, reduce it a bit over medium heat.
If using whole apricots, carefully cut each apricot along the seam with a small, sharp knife to create a pocket.
Using a small spoon or a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, spoon or pipe the kaymak or other filling into each pocket.
If using apricot halves, spoon the kaymak or other filling onto the centers of half of them.
Top with the remaining apricot halves.
Arrange the apricots side by side on a serving platter.
Spoon the thickened syrup over the stuffed apricots and refrigerate until the syrup is set, about 30 minutes.
Bring the stuffed apricots to room temperature and sprinkle with the pistachios.
