Preparation

Place sugar and water in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
Dissolve sugar in water. Once dissolved add vanilla, cardamom and cinnamon sticks and bring to a gentle boil.

Allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare apricots by cutting in half and discarding the stone. Place fruit into poaching syrup and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes.

Remove using a slotted spoon. Allow poaching liquid to cool to room temperature.

To serve, place apricot halves in a bowl, add a spoonful of poaching liquid, and serve with slices of almond bread and pure cream.

Side dishes

Koreans use a shallow spoon for rice and soup and a set of silver or stainless steel chopsticks for serving from the shared dishes. Side dishes or banchan vary in number depending on the occasion, but at least 3 to 5 would be a minimum at home, with many more for special guests or in restaurants.
