Ingredients
-
1 orange
-
4 ounces water
-
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier (or Cointreau)
-
6 ounces natural yoghurt (any thickish non-set yoghurt works welland Greek yoghurt is particularly good)
-
1/4 cup soft brown sugar (any type of soft brown sugar works well)
-
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (according to taste)
-
8 ounces dried apricots
Instructions
- Squeeze the orange to extract its juice.
- Put the dried apricots into a small saucepan with the orange juice and water, bring it to the boil then simmer with a lid on for 10 minutes, adding the Grand Marnier towards the end of the cooking time.
- When the fruit is tender, puree the apricot mixture. Taste it, and add a splash more Grand Marnier if you wish. You should have a thick puree (although the exact consistency doesn't really matter; if it is runnier, you just get a runnier dessert!).
- Leave the apricot mixture to cool, then spread it neatly in a small glass serving dish.
- Spread the yoghurt evenly on top, making sure that all of the apricot mixture is covered.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar, breaking up any lumps, then sprinkle this mixture evenly and thickly over the yoghurt so that the whole surface is covered.
- Place in the fridge for at least three hours, until ready to serve.
- The cinnamon-sugar dissolves into the surface of the yoghurt, creating a gorgeous dark syrup.
