Wash the apricots, carve them crosswise and blanch with boiling water. Leave for about 1 minute. Put the apricots on a sieve, rinse under cold water and peel the skin.
Halve the apricots, remove the stone. Cut half of the fruit into slices. Wash and clean the gooseberries. Put fruits, 350 ml peach nectar, sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon in a pot.
Bring to the boil while stirring occasionally and let it boil for about 4 minutes. In the meantime mix the remaining nectar with the pudding powder. Stir the pudding powder into the nectar and boil again for about 1 minute while stirring.
Remove cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Place 4 glasses on a damp cloth and distribute the hot groats into the glasses. Let it cool down and put it in a cool place if necessary. Serve gooseberry and apricot groats with milk or vanilla sauce.
