Apricot Mousse

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1 package (6 ounces) lemon-flavored gelatin
• 8 ripe apricots
• 2 tablespoons brandy or apricot brandy
• 1 cup fresh whipped cream

Preparing

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin, and stir until dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool.

Rinse the apricots well, halve, and remove the pits. Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add the pureed apricots and brandy to the cooled gelatin mixture and refrigerate until slightly thickened (about 1 hour). Beat the apricot mixture slightly then fold in the whipped cream. Transfer the mousse to a mold or serving dish and chill until firm.
