Wash and pit the apricots. Cut them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricots, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apricots are soft and start to break down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, blend the mixture until smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt.
Gradually stir the blended apricot puree into the cream mixture until fully combined.
Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to cool completely.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturerβs instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop and serve the Fragrant Apricot Ice Cream Verikoka Pagota Aromatika in bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with fresh apricot slices or a drizzle of honey.
