- Step 1
Place apricots in 2 cups water, and soak overnight.
- Step 2
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Pour soaking liquid into 1-quart ovenproof saucepan. Add sugar, cardamon seeds and lemon juice, and bring to boil. Add apricots. Moisten and crumple a small sheet of parchment paper, and cover apricots. Cover saucepan, and bake in oven for 1½ hours. Allow apricots to cool in syrup, and then refrigerate until well chilled.
- Step 3
Drain apricots, reserving syrup. Split each, and fill with kaymak, yogurt or mascarpone. Arrange in shallow serving dish, spoon some syrup over apricots, scatter with pistachios and serve.
Tip
- To make 1 cup kaymak, bring 2 cups heavy cream to boil in 3-quart saucepan. Lower heat to steady simmer. With large mixing spoon, pick up a spoonful of cream, lifting it up about a foot, and pour it back. Continue for about 20 minutes, until cream has thickened like custard and you can see bottom of pan as you draw spoon through cream. Transfer to a dish, and refrigerate.

Cooking Notes

I cooked this up to the point of adding the yogurt and pine nuts. I used it in an apricot pie with a crumb topping. Added mixture to prepared crust and baked. It was delicious. I also kept some to mix with plain Greek yogurt and that was a good combination.. I had dried apricots that were sulfite free.
