Method
1
Pour 400ml water into a large pan and place it over a medium heat. Add the sugar and whole spices, including the scraped vanilla pod (reserve the seeds). Bring the liquid to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer to dissolve the sugar. Add the apricots and leave them to poach for 10 minutes, until soft. Turn off the heat and allow the fruit to cool in the syrup.

Tip the ricotta into a bowl and beat it together with the mascarpone, icing sugar and vanilla seeds. To serve, place spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture onto each serving plate and top with equal amounts of the apricots. Spoon over some of the syrup and finish with the chopped pistachios.
