Roasted apricots with almonds and yoghurt

Yesterday was Blue Monday, a name that felt apt in the drizzle and gloom of the school run. After dropping the kids, I bought a few bits and bobs for the week - bread, veg etc and I spotted a punnet of apricots. Their sunny yellow skins beamed out at me from the shelf and the thought of warm, sweet fruit for my late breakfast was irresistible.

Ingredient

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C.

* Step 2

Halve and stone the apricots and nestle them upright into an ovenproof dish so that they're holding each other up.

* Step 3

Into each of the little wells, slide a small blob of butter or alternative. You don't need loads, about 1/4 tsp for each will do.

* Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together equal quantities of almonds and sugar. For a punnet of apricots, I used two large dessertspoons of each. Add spice to taste at this stage.

* Step 5

Scatter the almond/sugar mixture over the fruit. You're creating a pseudo crumble so you'll want to be fairly generous.

* Step 6

Put the apricots into the oven for 20-30 minutes. Check on them before they fall apart. You want them just on the verge (sounds familiar!).

* Step 7

Serve with small bowlfuls of yoghurt, with a little vanilla powder (my favourite) stirred through if you like, and plenty of hot tea. Follow the light around the house and eat next to a sunny window if you can.
