Place ginger and peppercorns in square of cheesecloth; bring edges together and tie with string.In large saucepan, bring water, sugar, cinnamon and spice bag to boil over high heat; boil for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low; add halved apricots and almonds. Place parchment paper directly on surface; simmer just until apricots are tender, about 4 minutes.
