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

Directions

Step 1

Wash the apricots thoroughly and remove the pits by splitting them in half.

Step 2

Chop the apricot halves into small chunks to help them break down more easily during cooking.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the apricot chunks, water, and granulated erythritol.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the erythritol dissolves completely.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing until everything is well incorporated.

Step 8

Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. As it cools, the sauce will thicken further.

Step 10

Transfer the apricot sauce to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or slightly warmed as desired.
