When I discovered the Quest recipes, this went into my list of the top three or four to make as soon as possible. It takes no time at all to put together, and is a satisfying light dessert. DH loves apricots, so this was right up our alley. One of the best parts is what is left on your plate when you are done - the juice that releases from the apricots mixes with the caramel and hint of lemon, which will leave you wanting to lick your plate!

I can't imagine why I haven't made this lovely creation before. It's very easy and wonderfully yummy. I use a lot of yogurt and I can imagine this recipe being made with various fruits. I have some red plumbs in the bowl that would be excellent candidates. Made for Culinary Quest 2016 and a real keeper it is.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
