Instructions
- 1
Wash the dried apricots; if they are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain.
10 min10:00 - 2
Boil the water and granulated sugar in a wide pan for 4 minutes.
4 min04:00 - 3
Add the apricots to the syrup and cook over low heat for 14 minutes, until softened.
14 min14:00 - 4
Heat the butter in a small pan for 3 minutes, until the foam subsides.
3 min03:00 - 5
Transfer the apricots to a serving plate and drizzle the hot butter over them.
- 6
Sprinkle with walnut kernels and serve warm with clotted cream.
💡 Tip: Cook the apricots without crushing them; if you use sun-dried apricots in Turkey, reducing the sugar by 1 to 2 spoonfuls keeps the dessert balanced.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kaysefe warm on a platter with walnuts and clotted cream; unsweetened Turkish coffee balances the sweetness.
