cardamom spiced apricots

cardamom+apricots

damn. cardamom is fun to photograph.

i found some apricots on the wrong side of ripe in the fridge bin, cut 'em in half and stoned them; made a simple syrup of white sugar and water, added a bunch of crushed cardamom pods as it was simmering, then tossed in the 'cots for 10 minutes. don't know what i'll do with them yet--have them warm with a wine sauce? cool in a compote? with ice? with cream? with ice cream?!

ah, the possibilities.
