An amazingly simple but delicious summer fruits dessert. It also freezes well so you can enjoy the taste of summer all year round. Serve with vanilla ice cream or sour cream. Also works well with plums. Ingredients:
10 fresh apricots, pitted and halved |
1 lemon, zest cut off in 1/2-inch-wide strips |
3/4 cup white sugar |
6 cups water |
2 drops vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Stir together the apricots, lemon zest, sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until the apricots are soft and the compote has thickened, 40 to 50 minutes. Chill in refrigerator before serving. |
