Ingredients
  • 4 pounds of fresh apricots, roughly chopped and brown spots/blemishes removed
  • juice from one lemon
  • zest from one lemon
  • ¼ cup water (if you have juicy apricots, you may not need this)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a heavy pot, mix together apricots, lemon juice, zest, water (if using), and vanilla extract. Add spices if using. Cook over moderate heat, just bringing to a boil then simmering for 15-20 minutes. The mixture will soften but remain chunky.
  2. Cool and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks, longer in the freezer.
