Ingredients
- 200 grams dried apricots
- 500 ml water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by chopping the dried apricots into smaller pieces. This will help them soften quickly during the cooking process.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped dried apricots and 500 ml of water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the apricots are soft and plump.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 5
Transfer the apricots and any remaining liquid into a blender or food processor. Add the fresh lemon juice, honey, vanilla extract (if using), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 6
Blend the mixture on high speed until the sauce is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor if necessary.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference by adding more honey or lemon juice if desired.
Step 8
Pour the apricot sauce into a clean jar or container and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
