Apricots and Herbed Strawberries with Angel Food Cake Recipe
- 1 pound strawberries, washed, hulled, and medium dice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest (from about 1/2 medium orange)
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons water
- 8 medium apricots (about 1 pound), halved and pitted
- 1 angel food cake, sliced into 16 pieces
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high (about 375 degrees F to 425 degrees F).
- Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, mint, and rosemary in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Whisk the honey and water together in a small bowl until combined, set aside.
- When the grill is ready, place the apricots on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the honey mixture, using all of it.
- Place the apricots on the grill cut-side down (reserve the baking sheet).
- Cover the grill and cook until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a flat metal spatula, flip the apricots, cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear on the second side and the apricots begin to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Remove the apricots to the reserved baking sheet.
- To serve, place the slices of angel food cake on a serving platter.
- Top with the apricots cut-side up, then top with the strawberry mixture.
- Serve immediately.
