Ingredients
8 servings
- •¾ pound very ripe fresh apricots, pitted and halved
- •½ cup white sugar
- •½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- •½ cup orange juice
- •1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
- •1 tablespoon water, if needed
- •½ teaspoon cornstarch
- •¼ cup water
Instructions
- Mix together the apricots, sugar, vanilla extract, orange juice, and amaretto liqueur in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the apricots are soft and have started to release their juice, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the apricots have broken down, about 1 1/2 hour. If mixture is too thick or begins to burn, stir in 1 tablespoon of water and mix well.
- Stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup water, and pour into the apricot mixture. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the mixture forms a thick syrup, about 30 more minutes.
