Ingredients:

  • 1/2 vanilla bean , halved lengthwise
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 (4- by 1-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 lb firm-ripe fresh apricots , halved lengthwise and pitted
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Directions:

  1. Poach apricots: Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a 2-quart saucepan, then add pod, water, sugar, zest, and salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, then boil 1 minute.
  2. Carefully add apricots, then reduce heat and poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until fruit is tender but still holds its shape and skins are still intact, 2 to 6 minutes. Transfer apricots and syrup to a large shallow bowl and cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
  3. Make zabaglione: Beat together yolks, sugar, and wine in a deep 4-quart metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer at medium speed or whisk vigorously until combined well.
  4. Set bowl over a 4-quart pot of barely simmering water and beat mixture until tripled in volume, 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. To serve: Spoon 2 or 3 apricot halves into each of 6 glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.
  6. Cooks' notes ·The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area. ·Apricots can be poached 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
