Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ripe apricots
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 60 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the ripe apricots thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. If desired, chop the apricots into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apricots and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apricots begin to break down and soften, about 10-12 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and use an immersion blender to puree the apricots directly in the saucepan until smooth and silky. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the saucepan.
Stir in the honey, unsalted butter, and fresh lemon juice. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently, for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the apricot butter cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled apricot butter into clean, sterilized jars. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve your silky apricot butter on toast, pancakes, or as a complement to your favorite baked goods. Enjoy!
