A traditional Turkish drink made by boiling dried apricots in sugared water and then chilling them. It's served on its own or sprinkled with walnuts or hazelnuts at afternoon tea tables.
Wash the dried apricots well in plenty of water, then soak in lukewarm water for 30 minutes; this shortens the boiling time and helps them soften.
Put the soaked apricots with their water into a pot, add sugar and a cinnamon stick, and simmer over low heat until the apricots soften.
Remove the compote from the heat and let it cool at room temperature, then rest it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours; the flavor becomes more pronounced once fully chilled.
Divide the compote among bowls with the apricots and serve cold, sprinkled with crushed walnuts on top if you like.
Important: Soaking the apricots in warm water for 30 minutes before blanching speeds up softening. If served with nuts, this should be noted separately for those with nut allergies.
Putting the compote's liquid in the fridge to chill thoroughly at least a few hours before serving noticeably enhances its flavor.
