Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dried apricots
- 150 grams Unsalted pistachios (shelled)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Prepare the dried apricots by soaking them in a bowl with hot water for 5 minutes to soften. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the softened dried apricots and shelled pistachios. Pulse until the mixture begins to form a coarse paste.
Add the honey, unsalted butter, and sea salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the desired consistency is reached. The butter should be thick yet spreadable.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding a pinch more sea salt or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Transfer the apricot and pistachio butter to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pair it with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh fruit for a luxurious treat.
