Apricot Compote

(recipe, Carrie Floyd)

Introduction

Tired of cold-storage apples, I whipped this up one winter morning. It's good on yogurt, toast, and even cooked grains — kamut or couscous.

Ingredients

1. 1 cup dried apricots
2. Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3. ½ cup water
4. ¼ cup honey

Steps

1. Place all ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook — about 10 minutes — until the apricots are pulpy and the water has cooked down to a syrupy consistency. Serve warm, or cool and store in the refrigerator.
