Hi,
No don't boil the appricots, soak them in cold water overnight.
Following day, drain and boil them in the syrup for 15 minutes:)

We visited Turkey in October. I made several of your recipes for a party I had a few weeks ago. Everyone wanted this recipe!
Thanks,

Merhaba

I live in the US and am having hard time finding very thick cream. Is the imported British stuff my only option? Do you know if I can find some domestic brand of clotted cream, easily available in the stores here.

Cok tesekkur ederim

Merhaba Armagan,
Sorry, I don't live in the US. Therefore, I will not be able to help. I would suggest you ask someone in a supermarket.

Can I use kaymak instead of very thick cream? Or is it the same thing?

Hi Laura,
You can use very thick cream like English Devon cream instead of kaymak:)
