Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 pepper chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the dried apricots in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until the apricots are soft and plump.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the apricots to cool slightly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and drain the rest.
In a blender or food processor, combine the softened apricots, reserved cooking liquid, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic clove, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or honey for sweetness, if desired.
Transfer the spread to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use the spread on sandwiches, wraps, or as a condiment for burgers. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
