👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Gently wash the fresh apricots, then halve them and carefully remove the pits.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine water and granulated sugar; bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
3. Carefully add the apricot halves to the simmering syrup, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
4. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the apricots are tender when pierced with a knife but still retain their shape.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the poached apricots to cool completely in the syrup; this helps them absorb more flavor.
6. Serve the poached apricots chilled, either on their own as a light dessert or alongside yogurt, ice cream, or crème fraîche for a richer experience.
