Sauteed Vanilla Scented Apricots
The perfect combination of vanilla and apricots. This recipe is wonderful on its own or as a topping for waffles or ice cream.
Ingredients
6 apricots
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 or 2 vanilla beans
1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
Wash the apricots. Remove the stones from the apricots, and cut into quarters.
Warm a saute or fry pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Split the vanilla bean(s) in half and scrape out the seeds. Throw the apricots, brown sugar, vanilla seeds and pod into the butter and stir. It will create a lot of juice the longer you saute.
Warm over medium-low heat for about 8-12 minutes or until you have them at a firmness you prefer. I like mine halfway firm, Rob let his share go a while longer till it was more of a sauce.
