- Top each apricot half with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt, drizzle with the honey, sprinkle with the pistachios, and serve.
- While it’s not necessary, if you want to give your plain (i.e., non-Greek) yogurt a thicker consistency, line a sieve with a paper coffee filter and set it over a bowl. Empty an 8-ounce container into the sieve, cover it loosely with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

Heat oven to 300 degrees. Peel lemons, avoiding white pith, and toss strips into a large saucepan. Squeeze juice through a strainer into saucepan; add sugar and 2 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil, stirring once. Remove lid and simmer until mixture reduces slightly, about 10 minutes. Halve and pit apricots and place them cut-side down in a single layer in a small roasting pan. Apricots should be snug. Strain reduced hot syrup over them. Cover fruit flush with foil and braise in oven for 5 minutes. Turn apricots over carefully, replace foil, and braise 5 minutes more. Remove apricots from oven, turn again and cool. Transfer apricots, covered by their liquid, to a shallow container with cover, and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Remove apricot halves from their liquid and drain on paper towels. Pour syrup in a saucepan and reduce over high heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, stir yogurt, confectioners’ sugar and salt together until smooth. Spoon warm sauce on each plate, topped by 2 or 3 apricot halves. Spoon yogurt into their centers. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with nuts.

Let the yogurt drain in a fine sieve set over a bowl, covered and chilled, overnight and measure out 1 cup of the drained yogurt, reserving the remaining yogurt for another use. Preheat the oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan. Into another bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the 1 cup drained yogurt, beating until the mixture is just combined. Add the flour mixture, beat the batter until it is just combined, and stir in the apricots and the walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out with a few crumbs adhering to it. Put the cake in the pan on a rack set over foil, pour the orange honey syrup over it, and let the cake absorb the syrup. The cake may be made 2 days in advance and kept in the pan covered with plastic wrap and foil and chilled. Remove the side of the pan and garnish the cake with the mint sprigs.

Butter the base of a 23cm springform tin and line with a circle of baking parchment. Blitz the biscuits to fine crumbs in a food processor, then tip into a bowl and mix with the butter. Pack the mixture into the base of the tin and chill for 10 mins. Whip the double cream to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, soft cheese, honey and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the cream and spoon over the base. Smooth over the top with a spatula and cover. Chill for at least 4 hrs or overnight. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the apricots with the 50g honey, the orange zest and vanilla on a baking tray. Roast on the middle shelf for 20-25 mins until the apricots are tender but still hold their shape. Toss everything halfway through, adding 1 tbsp water if the honey starts to catch. Leave to cool, discarding the orange and vanilla pod. Use a knife to release the sides of the cheesecake and remove from the tin. Spoon over the apricots along with the roasting juices. Drizzle extra honey over the top, allowing it to run down the sides.
