¼ cup clover honey
½ vanilla bean split and scraped
1 pound apricots fresh ripe, halved lengthwise and pitted (about 4 large apricots)
greek yogurt I prefer Fage

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of filtered water, the honey, and vanilla bean. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Remove lid and whisk mixture to break up vanilla bean clumps. Add apricots, reduce heat to low and simmer until just tender, about 4 minutes total depending on the ripeness of the fruit.
Transfer the poached apricots with a slotted spoon to a dish. Boil the remaining syrup uncovered until reduced to about ½ cup. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold with a generous drizzle of the thickened syrup and a dollop of yogurt.
