Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dried apricots (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the dried apricots and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer the apricots for about 15 minutes, or until they are very soft and starting to break down.
Using a handheld immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a regular blender, puree the apricots until the sauce is smooth.
Return the pureed apricots to the saucepan if using a regular blender.
Add the lemon juice, erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to the pan.
Stir the mixture well and continue to heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving or storing.
Serve warm or chilled over your favorite dishes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
