A table ! Apricot clafoutis — Clafoutis aux abricots
Along with cookie and wow, “A table” (The French expression a cook uses to call the family to the table for lunch or dinner) are right now two of Lulu’s favorite words. It’s really too funny! She probably does not yet know exactly what the expression means, but she surely knows that it involves food–and no doubt that she likes this part very much.
Mind you, I am pretty sure that in the midst of it all, she always has the hope that there will be cookies on the table too.
But instead, today–and yesterday too–we had apricots at home.
If you are anything like me, you must be enjoying apricots at the moment. They are beautiful and tasty. This year, I am also happy to report that I remembered to freeze some, for the times when I crave apricots and cannot buy them in the store.
Some ended up inside a clafoutis (a combination of this one and that one) while others…well, that will be for another day.
A table !

A table, what a lovely expression. My daughter also has something of the sort in her repertoire, except in Russian. Wonderful photographs as always, enjoy the apricots

I wish I had known they freeze so well! The apricots here are not looking too good anymore– guess the season’s already over.

Ah yes, freezing the apricots is a splendid idea. I always seem to forget to do so…I’ll keep this lovely dessert in mind though to help me remember. And, I agree with all that the photo of Lulu is precious.

Tes tranches de vie mêlée à de chouettes recettes sont toujours aussi savoureuses. Avec un maman comme toi, Lulu va devenir (ou est déjà) une vraie gastronome

Great post and fantastic pictures as always
Comment by fab — On August, 6th, 2010 at 2:22 am
just remembered…….freeze kernels with the halved apricots and when you use them make a syrup with the kernels in for even more apricot flavour. I did it once years ago and it was wonderful. Lovely recipe…….but why does clafoutis sometimes turn out like leathery, flat stodge? can’t figure it out! any ideas?
Comment by camilla — On August, 6th, 2010 at 4:25 am
Apricote it is my favorite fruit, but I never prepared anything except jam.
Thanks you for the idea.
The photo of Lulu is beautiful as always.

It’s me again…just re-read the post…what was that “hint!hint!” about cravings? Are you expecting another little wonder???
Comment by Katharine @ agirlinmadrid — On August, 6th, 2010 at 6:41 am
Ca a l’air delicieux! I think i wiill make one next week when i come back…although we do not always find the apricots on the Cape…
Comment by Florence Steven — On August, 6th, 2010 at 7:08 am

Gorgeous. I don’t think there’s more to say.

I love apricot clafoutis. Lulu’s picture is so cute.
Comment by Blandine — On August, 6th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Those apricots look divine! I love snacking on the dried variety but rarely come upon fresh ones. I think I’ll have to start looking harder!
Comment by Rachel — On August, 6th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Very nice picture of Lulu! I made clafoutis once about a year or so back using your recipe.. but I never got to taste it properly.. because, instead of sifting powdered/icing sugarover it, I accidentally poured baking soda into the sieve and because baking soda is heavier than icing sugar, there was huge mass of it on the clafoutis!! One of my worst baking mis-adventures!!
Comment by Angela KL — On August, 6th, 2010 at 10:25 am
Oh yes, apricots. I recently bought a 22lb. box at a local farm stand for 15.00. Quelle surprise! I’m slicing and freezing them as well. Your clafoutis looks divine. Another bébé?
Comment by valérie-jeanne — On August, 6th, 2010 at 11:37 am
Oh yes, freeze freeze. It’s the time to do it!
And no, no other bébé right now…
Comment by Béa — On August, 6th, 2010 at 11:53 am
Looks wonderful. How do you freeze them?
Comment by Julia — On August, 6th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Julia,
I wash them and pat them dry. Then cut them open into two halves, remove the pit and place them in freezing bags, next to each other, and put them flat in the freezer. Then, once they are frozen, transfer them into a box that I keep in the freezer.
Comment by Béa — On August, 6th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Je l’ai déjà dit, mais je le dis quand même, I just love your blog!
Les photos, les textes, l’esprit, j’ADORE!
Merci, merci!

Gorgeous images and fantastic food!
I found and captured the other daya flower just like your pink one here, only in white, in the middle of the city, on a church square. Do you know its name by any chance?
Comment by Merisi's — On August, 7th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Your petite feet? No?
Comment by mademarian — On August, 7th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
The flower is a gaura siskiyou pink. And yes, these are my long long narrow skinny feet!…..

Au moins un peu d’été (en ce mois d’août gris à Paris) grâce à vos photos. Les abricots, je n’ai pas pu résister non plus (http://through.canalblog.com/archives/cuisine_/index.html)

Those apricots look so fresh and juicy! I love your pictures.. they are always so beautiful.
Comment by Tes — On August, 9th, 2010 at 10:46 am
Those apricots look fantastic! I have never thought to make an apricot clafoutis, although I’m knee-deep in apricots lately. I’ll have to give it a try!

As I type, a pot of simmering jam perfumes my kitchen. It’s my most made jam, adding dessert wine doesn’t hurt either. I have a few apricots leftover, so on to clafouti!

Hi there!
I have enjoyed reading some of your recipes. I love the photo of your daughter’s feet. Too cute.
I didn’t realize you could freeze apricots. I will have to remember this next time!
