Total Time: 3 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 3 hrs Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 8 ounces dried apricots
• 1 orange
• 4 ounces water
• 3 tablespoons grand marnier (or cointreau)
• 6 ounces natural yoghurt (any thickish non-set yoghurt works welland greek yoghurt is particularly good)
• 1/4 cup soft brown sugar (any type of soft brown sugar works well)
• 1/2-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (according to taste)

Recipe

• 1 squeeze the orange to extract its juice.
• 2 put the dried apricots into a small saucepan with the orange juice and water, bring it to the boil then simmer with a lid on for 10 minutes, adding the grand marnier towards the end of the cooking time.
• 3 when the fruit is tender, puree the apricot mixture. taste it, and add a splash more grand marnier if you wish. you should have a thick puree (although the exact consistency doesn't really matter; if it is runnier, you just get a runnier dessert!).
• 4 leave the apricot mixture to cool, then spread it neatly in a small glass serving dish.
• 5 spread the yoghurt evenly on top, making sure that all of the apricot mixture is covered.
• 6 in a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar, breaking up any lumps, then sprinkle this mixture evenly and thickly over the yoghurt so that the whole surface is covered.
• 7 place in the fridge for at least three hours, until ready to serve.
• 8 the cinnamon-sugar dissolves into the surface of the yoghurt, creating a gorgeous dark syrup.
