Serves 8

Ingredients

Apricots
4 cups, pitted and chopped
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Water
1/2 cup
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, granulated sugar, water, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apricots have softened and the compote has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the compote to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish or jar.
  5. Serve the apricot compote warm or chilled. It pairs wonderfully with yogurt, pancakes, or as a topping for desserts like cheesecake or vanilla ice cream.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more complex flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract.
  • 💡 If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before chopping to rehydrate them.
  • 💡 This compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
