Il Menù: Apricots

Apricots, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, are the perfect way to nourish your skin from the inside out. Embrace the season with the perfect dessert duo: Apricot Sorbet and Apricot Jam Crostata. The refreshing sorbet and indulgent crostata come together for a combination as sweet as the Spring season.

Apricot Jam Crostata
 Ingredienti:

  • 250g all-purpose flour

  • 125g cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • 100g sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • A pinch of salt

  • 250g apricot jam (or fresh apricots for extra texture)

Preparazione:

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.

  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix to form a dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough into a 9-inch circle and place it into a tart tin. Trim any excess dough.

  4. Spread apricot jam over the base, adding sliced fresh apricots if desired.

  5. Create a lattice pattern with the remaining dough.

  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and the jam is bubbling. Allow to cool before serving.

Apricot Sorbetto
 Ingredienti:

  • 500g fresh apricots, pitted and sliced

  • 200g sugar

  • 250ml water

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • A pinch of salt

Preparazione:

  1. Combine apricots, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium until apricots soften and sugar dissolves (about 10 minutes).

  2. Blend the mixture until smooth. Add lemon juice and blend again.

  3. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours.

  4. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-30 minutes, or freeze and stir every 30 minutes if you don’t have a machine.

  5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh mint or apricot slices if desired.
