Recipe: Black Garlic Apricot Appetizer

This appetizer is a snap to make and so satisfying! It brings out the sweet in the black garlic in a wonderful taste sensation.

Ingredients 

• 6 oz. or 1 cup dried apricots
• Mascarpone cheese (8 oz. container is more than enough)
• 1 head black garlic

Note: Organic apricots are not treated with sulphur, thus they turn brown – this is perfectly natural!

Directions 

1. Spread Mascarpone cheese on top of each dried apricot with a butter knife.
2. Place apricots on platter.
3. Slice each clove black garlic into 2 or 3 smaller pieces, slicing lengthwise.
4. Place a slice of black garlic atop cheese on each apricot, pressing in gently.

Watch them disappear!
