Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Butter, unsalted

  • 800 g Apricot, raw

  • 2 spoons Sugar, white

  • 0.75 teaspoons Spices, caraway, seeds

  • 1 piece Lemon, fresh, without shell

  • 200 ml Alcohol, Dessert wine

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Generously grease a small deep baking dish with butter. Wash the apricots, halve them, and remove the pits. Wash the lemon thoroughly under running water and dry it completely with a paper towel or kitchen cloth. Finely grate the zest, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice.

  2. Arrange the apricot halves in a single layer in the baking dish (cut side up). Sprinkle the apricots with sugar, elderflower blossoms, and lemon zest. Then pour the lemon juice and wine over them.

  3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Bake in the middle rack.

  4. When the apricots soften and the liquid turns into a syrup, remove the dish from the oven. Let the apricots cool if desired, or serve them immediately on plates with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
