Kuru Kayısı Tatlısı (Turkish Poached Apricots with Ricotta)

This is a light, delicious and easy dessert for entertaining. Türkiye is one of the largest producers of apricots, kayısı. They are grown in abundance during the summer months, and some of the yearly harvest is dried in the sun to be enjoyed all year round. Malatya, a city in the southeast is particularly famous for the quality of its dried apricots, which are exported all over the world. Poaching dried apricots in light syrup brings out their beautiful fragrance. Our thick cream, kaymak, made from the milk of water buffalo is traditionally used in Turkiye, though creamy whole milk ricotta as stuffing also works great, as in this version.
