Silken Tofu in Apricot-Honey Sauce

INGREDIENTS

8 fresh apricots
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp honey
1 package silken tofu - drained, patted dry, and cut into 1/4 inch slices

DIRECTIONS

Set aside 4 of the apricots. Peel, pit, and puree the other 4.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the sugar. Cook and stir until the sugar has melted and is lightly browned. Remove from heat and continue stirring until caramelized. Put over low heat and mix in the pureed apricots, vanilla, and honey. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until thickened.

Arrange the tofu slices on dessert plates and drizzle with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until chilled. Pit and slice remaining 4 apricots. Serve tofu with sliced apricots on the side.
