This is like spicy sunshine when used as a spread on a hamburger or in a wrap. The tartness from the lime is a contrast with the sweetness of the dried fruit. It is important to allow the full soaking time for the apricots. From Southern Living magazine. Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried apricot |
1/4 cup hot water |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, chopped |
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon adobo sauce, from the can |
Directions:
1. Stir together the dried apricots, hot water, & lime juice. Let soak a full 15 minutes. Drain. Pat the apricots dry & chop finely.
2. Stir in mayo, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, & green onion.
3. Cover & chill until time to serve.
4. Note The original recipe had this fairly chunky in texture. The next day I ended up whizzing everything in a mini chopper to make a fairly smooth spread to use on a turkey, swiss, & bacon wrap.
