Bademli Kayisi

• 13 large ripe but firm apricots
• 1 cup blanched almonds
• 1/2 cup superfine sugar
• 3 tablespoons rose water

1. Make a slit in each apricot and remove the pit.
2. Blend the almonds, sugar, and rose water to a soft paste in the food processor.
3. Take lumps the size of a small walnut and roll them into balls.
4. Push them into the apricot slits, and press the apricots to squeeze the filling gently.
5. Arrange the stuffed fruits on a heatproof dish and bake in a preheated 350F oven for about 20 minutes, or until they have softened a little.
6. Keep an eye on them, and remove if they start to fall apart too quickly.
7. Serve hot or cold.
