Wine-Braised Apricots
Wine-Braised Apricots
Substitute any stone fruit in this simple dessert that celebrates the best of summer. Use slightly sweet wine like a riesling, moscato, or a gwerztraminer, and while the alcohol in the wine will steam off during the cooking process, it will leave behind all the residual sugars and flavors creating a sweet glaze. I recommend you enjoy these with a scoop of buttermilk ice cream.

Ingredients
- 5 apricots, pitted and sliced in half
- 1 1/2 cup sweet wine
- fresh thyme (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Arrange apricots cut-side down in a shallow baking dish. Pour wine over the apricots until it comes up slightly around the edges. Add thyme, if using.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the fruit is very tender. Use a slotted spoon to take the apricots from the pan. Pour the juice into a small sauce pan over medium high heat and reduce liquid until syrupy. Drizzle syrup over apricots and ice cream when ready to serve.
