Sweet and saffron-scented, these apricots are gorgeous with low-fat Greek yoghurt. You can also use tinned apricots in winter.
Ingredients
- 250ml/8¾fl oz cold water
 - 50g/1¾oz caster sugar
 - 1 cinnamon stick
 - small pinch saffron strands
 - 1 tbsp honey
 - 12 apricots, halved
 - 150g/5¼oz tub Greek yoghurt
 - 50g/1¾oz pistachios, crushed
 
Method
Put the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, saffron and honey into a pan and heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Simmer gently for five minutes before adding the apricots. Simmer for a further five minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Serve the apricots warm on a bed of yogurt, and drizzle over the syrup.
