Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Fresh apricots
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash the apricots thoroughly and remove the pits by splitting them in half.
Chop the apricot halves into small chunks to help them break down more easily during cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apricot chunks, water, and granulated erythritol.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the erythritol dissolves completely.
Once simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for about 15 minutes or until the apricots are soft and the mixture thickens.
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the apricots. If a smoother consistency is desired, use an immersion blender carefully to puree the sauce directly in the saucepan.
Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. As it cools, the sauce will thicken further.
Transfer the apricot sauce to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or slightly warmed as desired.
