This simple dish of fresh apricots with yogurt and honey is a quintessential summer treat. By combining the natural tartness of stone fruit with the mellow sweetness of wildflower or lavender honey, you create a refined dessert that celebrates seasonal produce.

Ingredients for Apricots, Yoghurt, and Honey
1 ripe apricot, halved and pitted
60ml regular plain or Greek yoghurt
Honey (try wildflower or lavender)
1 tablespoon unsalted roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
How to make Apricots, Yoghurt, and Honey
Top each apricot half with 2 tablespoons of the yoghurt, drizzle with the honey, sprinkle with the pistachios, and serve.
While it's not necessary, if you want to give your plain (i.e., non-Greek) yoghurt a thicker consistency, line a sieve with a paper coffee filter and set it over a bowl. Empty an 230g container into the sieve, cover it loosely with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
