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.

Festive occasions

Many of Poland’s religious holidays involve long observed fasts, including Easter and Christmas. Christmas Eve is a day of fasting, which is broken by a dinner called the Wigilia. Traditionally, this special meal is not eaten until a member of the family, usually a child, spots the first evening star in the winter sky.
