- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Add 200 grams of dried apricots and 250 milliliters of water to a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the apricots become soft and plump.

Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the softened apricots and any remaining liquid from the saucepan to a blender or food processor.
Step 5
Add 100 grams of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blender.
