Abrikossuppe (Danish Apricot Soup) #StoneFruit

Here we are at day four of the #StoneFruit blogging party, hosted by Heather of Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks. I didn't post yesterday, but today I have a riff on a Danish summer soup...and Christie is sharing a pluot tart. Yum.

Abrikossuppe

Danish Apricot Soup

I have read about Danish apricot soup, but never found a recipe using fresh apricots; all of the recipes I found utilized dried apricots. Also, the recipes I found didn't have any proportions, so I made it up as I went along. Hopefully this is close to an authentic Abrikossuppe.

Ingredients

4 C quartered apricots
1-1/2 C water
1 T organic granulated sugar
2 t freshly grated lemon zest from an organic lemon + more for garnish
Prosecco (if you happen to have an open bottle)

Procedure

In a medium saucepan, simmer apricots, water, and sugar for 12-15 minutes, until apricots are very soft. Once cool enough to handle, place everything in a blender and process until smooth.

Refrigerate until completely chilled. Serve in small glasses or ramekins. Garnish with a bit of lemon zest and/or a tiny splash of prosecco. Skål!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.
