Food for Thought

We are 2 best friends and amateur chefs, on either side of an ocean, with a common love for all things food. This blog will chronicle our respective food journeys, recipes, tips and tricks, links, ideas and basically anything else to do with food on both sides of The World - showing how they are influenced by our countries and each other.

Caramelised Apricots with Vanilla and Honey Mascarpone

Ingredients
200g of Marscapone
1-2 Tbs of clear honey
1 Vanilla pod
4-6 Fresh apricots
2 knobs of butter
30g Golden castor sugar

Method
1. Preheat grill to 200 degrees celcius.
2. Half and destone the apricots. Lay centre side up on a grill tray.
3. Place a small amount of butter in the centre of each half, and sprinkle liberally with the sugar. Grill for between 4-7 minutes depending on how firm you want the fruit.
4. In a bowl mix the Mascarpone, Honey and seeds of the Vanilla pod.
5. Serve the now caramelised Apricots with a generous scoop of the Mascarpone. Also great if you would like to add some home made Shortbread or Pralines for an additional texture and flavour.

Cheers!
