| Fill a large bowl with warm water. Add apricots and
let them soak for two to three hours. Drain well. Set aside. Combine the sugar and lemon wedges in a saucepan. Bring to boil and cook until mixture reaches 225 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Immediately add the apricots and cook another four to five minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool completely and then lay the apricots out on a serving platter. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the slivered almonds. Place a dollop of the whipped cream mixture on top of each apricot. Sprinkle with additional chopped almonds, if desired. |
