An Easy Summer Dessert | Grilled Apricots with Mascarpone and Lavender Honey
Remember yesterday’s endless summer dinner party? Well, I thought I’d let the evening linger a little longer. I can still taste the mix of herbs and fresh ingredients, the savoury and the sweet, and I can still hear the laughter ringing in my ears. Satisfying to heart and palette alike, it was an evening well worth savouring.
I’m afraid I can’t share photos of the main course with you as we were so enjoying it {and more importantly, each other’s company} that it didn’t get photographed! But our simple and delicious dessert did, along with the simple and delicious process of making it. The recipe is really as straight forward as reading the photographs, but I’ll include it below.
The Ingredients:
4 ripe, organic apricots
Raw lavender honey
Mascarpone
The Method:
Wash and halve your apricots, removing the pits. Heat BBQ and sear the apricots face down so that the cut flesh caramelizes from the heat of the grill. Plate 2 halves per person and drizzle with the gorgeous, golden goodness of the raw honey. Savour the slow and decadent dance it does on the way down to the plate while enjoying the wait. It’s worth it. Top with a good dollop of mascarpone on each apricot half and ENJOY. {Pairs well with tea lights hanging in trees, wood-burning fires and great friends.}
