    Melted Apricots with Fresh Raspberries

    Posted: Jun 8, 2017 · Updated: Apr 29, 2022 by Jenny McGruther · This site earns income from ads, affiliate links, and sponsorships.


    If you can get a pan hot enough, but not too hot, fruit will positively melt into a lovely semi-soft consistency, its natural sugars caramelizing just a touch.  Naturally soft, tender fruits, like stonefruit and berries, yield themselves beautifully to this technique, with apricots being a favorite.

    I start first by warming butter in a hot pan until it froths and foams, before tossing the apricots into the pan until they just begin to soften, their edges melting into one another and their skins blistering in the heat ever so slightly.  Then I pull them from the pan, top them with sweet, lusciously red raspberries and a dusting of ground pistachios which gives the dessert a lovely creaminess.

    I serve the apricots and raspberries on their own, in little dessert bowls, though a drizzle of honey and dollop of whipped cream or Greek-style yogurt can provide a nice pairing.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 1 pound apricots split in half and pitted
    • 2 cups fresh raspberries
    • 2 tablespoons finely ground pistachios

    Instructions

    • Melt the butter in a nonreactive skillet (like this one) over medium-high heat. When the butter melts into froth and foam, toss in the apricots, stirring frequently to prevent them from scorching, until they begin to soften ever so slightly.
    • Spoon the melted apricots, and any remaining juice, into a serving dish. Top them with fresh raspberries and a dusting of finely ground pistachios. Serve immediately.
