APRICOTS SUPREME (Sultan Tatlısı)

1 Ib dried Turkish apricots
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup whipped or hard cream

Wash and boil apricots with the sugar and lemon juice until they are tender.

There should be half a cup of heavy syrup left when it is done well. Remove the apricots and fill each one with hard cream or well-beaten whipping cream, refrigerate and serve on top of a slice of pound cake if you so desire or serve just as it is. It's what the Turkish Sultan ate in between meals following the meals or at breakfast.

Serves 6.
