- 1-¼ cup Honey
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

- 2 Tablespoons Orange Zest
- 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
- 1-¾ cup Chopped Walnuts

Preparation
To make the orange honey-walnut syrup, whisk the honey, vanilla, orange juice, orange zest and nutmeg in a medium saucepan until combined. Bring the syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the syrup reaches a boil, stir in the walnuts, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Let the syrup cool slightly, then transfer it to a glass container.
To serve, top the fresh apricot halves with slices of the goat cheese, then spoon a tablespoon of the walnut syrup over each apricot half. The apricots can remain chilled for a few hours before serving.
