Ingredients
  

  • 24 apricots not too ripe
  • 60 g (2.1 oz) Sugar
  • 1 whole vanilla bean
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) Chocolate 70%
  • 200 g (7.1 oz) heavy cream (35%)
  • 10 leaves fresh tarragon per plate
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions
 

Chocolate Ganache:

  • Bring the cream to a boil and pour on top of the chopped Chocolate, mix well and reserve in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Prepare the Fruit:

  • Cut the apricots in half and remove the pit. Then cut in quarters.
  • Add 60 gr sugar and the vanilla bean (cut the pod in half and scrap the seeds with the back of a small knife).
  • Add the tarragon and the honey Mix well with a wooden spoon.
  • Reserve in the fridge for at least one hour.

When it is time to serve:

  • Whisk the chocolate ganache again so it is close to a chocolate chantilly.
  • Using a cold plate, serve 8 pieces of apricot per person, and a spoon of chocolate ganache.
  • Serve right away.

Notes

Note:  the sugar will start a "cooking" process with the apricots and begin to create a delicious juicy sauce.
