Food Tip |
Prehaet the oven to 425 degrees. In a sauce pan, combine the sugar,
honey, vanilla bean and water. Bring the liquid to a boil. Add the
apricots and bring back to a boil. Remove from heat. Invert a
saucer on top of the fruit to keep it submerged.
Cover the saucepan and let stand for 24 hours. During the
marinating, the pits will impart an almond flavor to the apricots and
their syrup. Drain the fruit, reserving the syrup and being careful
not to crsuh the apricots. Halve the apricots. Remove and discard the
pits. Place 4-5 apricot halves in the bottom of each gratin dish , so
they cover the bottom of the dish, PLace the remaining apricots in a
food processor with apricot syrup and puree until smooth. For the
topping: Combine 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, the almond powder,
butter, egg yolks, and the whole egg in a mixinf bowl and beat with a
whisk until smooth. Divide the batter among the 6 gratin dishes and
spread evenly over the apricots. Sprinkle the top with the slivered
almonds and remaining powdered sugar. Place the gratins in the oven
and bake for 15-20 minutes. Bring the puree witht he Kirsch up to a
simmer. Remove gratins from the oven and place one on each plate.
Garnish with puree, powdered sugar and fresh mint.
