Broiling the apricots with a touch of brown sugar draws out their sweetness. Look for apricots that are deep orange, fairly plump, and soft enough to yield to gentle pressure (avoid any that are bruised, mushy, or shriveled).

Preparation
Step 1
Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Place ginger in a fine sieve; set over a large bowl and press on ginger with a wooden spoon to release juice (discard solids). Add cream and granulated sugar; with an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form. Refrigerate, covered.
Step 2
Place apricots, cut sides up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Dividing evenly, dot with butter; sprinkle with brown sugar and cardamom. Broil until apricots just begin to brown in spots, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream.
