Recipe Description

Apricot Butter is a smooth and sweet fruit spread made from fresh apricots, perfect for slathering on toast, pancakes, or even as a topping for desserts. Its rich, velvety texture and natural sweetness make it a delightful addition to your breakfast or afternoon tea. With minimal ingredients and a simple cooking process, Apricot Butter is an easy and delicious homemade treat!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh apricots (about 8-10 apricots), pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness of apricots)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Apricots

  • Wash and pit the apricots, then chop them into small pieces.
  • Place the chopped apricots in a large pot.

Step 2: Cook the Apricots

  • Place the pot over medium heat and cook the apricots, stirring occasionally, until they soften (about 20 minutes).
  • Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the apricots into a smooth puree.

Step 3: Add Sugar and Spices

  • Add sugar, lemon juice, and spices (if using) to the apricot puree.
  • Stir well, and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.

Step 4: Test the Consistency

  • To test if the apricot butter is ready, place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it holds its shape and doesn’t run, it’s ready.

Step 5: Jar and Cool

  • Once thickened, pour the apricot butter into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.
  • Seal the jars and let them cool completely. The butter will continue to thicken as it cools.
