How to Make Apricot Fig And Yogurt Swirl
- Line a fine-mesh sieve or colander with cheesecloth. Spoon the yogurt into the lined sieve, placing it over a bowl to collect the whey. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to drain excess liquid.
- Once drained, transfer the thickened yogurt to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the apricots, figs, sugar, water, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and star anise.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruits are very soft and have released their juices. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and carefully discard the cinnamon stick and star anise.
- Gently mash some of the fruits with a fork or potato masher to create a slightly chunky consistency (optional).
- Divide the fruit mixture among individual serving dishes or bowls.
- Top each serving with generous spoonfuls of the strained yogurt.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh mint or a sprinkle of chopped nuts, if desired. Serves 6.
