Preparation
- Combine the water, sugar and vanilla bean and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Put them gently into the syrup and simmer until they are almost tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Leave a couple of apricot slices in the syrup.
- Add the Amaretto to the syrup and continue to simmer until you have a thick glaze (about 15 to 20 minutes), mashing the remaining apricot halves with a spoon until they are amalgamated into the glaze.
- Just before serving, arrange the apricot halves on the pastry. Pour the glaze over the top and serve.
