    20-25 golden apricots, halved and soaked in warm water
    4 tbsps apricot jam
    1 packet vanilla ice cream

    Put sugar in a wide non-stick pan, add a little water and cook, stirring, till the sugar dissolves.
     
    When the sugar begins to caramelize, add almonds and stir so that all the almonds are coated with the caramel. Spread the mixture on a silicon sheet and let it cool and set. You can keep the sheet in a refrigerator so that it sets quicker.
