Apricot Frozen Yogurt Food

APRICOT SYRUP FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Puree apricots, yogurt, and fruit syrup in a blender or food processor, using as much syrup as you like. Less syrup will give you a tart and tangy yogurt, more syrup will result in a sweeter yogurt.
• Refrigerate mixture until completely cold.
• Spoon mixture into ice-cream maker following manufacturers directions. Or, spoon mixture into individual paper cups. Partially freeze, then insert a wooden stick in each. Continue until mixture has frozen. Remove paper cups for frozen yogurt pops/

APRICOTS, YOGURT, AND HONEY

Steps:

• 1. Top each apricot half with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt, drizzle with the honey, sprinkle with the pistachios, and serve.
• 2. While it's not necessary, if you want to give your plain (i.e., non-Greek) yogurt a thicker consistency, line a sieve with a paper coffee filter and set it over a bowl. Empty an 8-ounce container into the sieve, cover it loosely with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

APRICOT FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add apricots, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until plump and very soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain apricots in a sieve set over a bowl, then return syrup to pan. Cook syrup over moderate heat, swirling pan occasionally, until a deep caramel, 4 to 5 minutes. (Syrup will bubble, so remove from heat periodically to check color.)
• Carefully add 1/2 cup water to caramel (mixture will bubble up and steam vigorously), then cook over moderate heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Purée apricots and caramel in a food processor until almost smooth, then cool to room temperature.
• Whisk together apricot purée and yogurt in a large bowl until combined well and chill, covered, until cold, about 4 hours.
• Sprinkle gelatin over remaining 1/4 cup water in a very small saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin over moderate heat, stirring, until dissolved, then immediately whisk into apricot mixture.
• Freeze apricot mixture in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
