Dairy-Free Turkish Dried Apricot Dessert (Kayisi Tatlisi)
A simple and naturally dairy-free Turkish dessert featuring dried apricots simmered in a light syrup and topped with walnuts. A sweet and satisfying way to end lunch.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Dried Apricots
- 3 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 0.25 cup Walnuts
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Rinse the about 450 g of dried apricots under cold water.
- 2In a medium saucepan, combine the 3 cups of water and the 0.5 cup of sugar. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The syrup will be clear.
- 3Add the rinsed about 450 g of dried apricots and the 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the saucepan with the syrup. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the about 450 g of dried apricots are plump and soft to the touch. They should not be mushy.
- 4Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the dessert cool for at least 10 minutes. This allows the apricots to absorb more of the syrup and the flavors to meld.
- 5Divide the cooked about 450 g of dried apricots and the syrup among 4 individual serving bowls.
- 6Top each bowl with the 0.25 cup of walnuts. Serve warm or at room temperature.
