Cook's notes

  • For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to pulse the fruit once it has softened.
  • If you prefer a brighter flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end to balance the natural sweetness of the raisins.
  • Ensure your apricots are ripe for maximum natural sweetness and a better texture.

Easy swaps

  • Swap dried apricots for fresh ones if they are in season; just increase the cooking time slightly.
  • Replace raisins with dried cranberries or chopped dates for a different depth of flavor.
  • Add a dash of cinnamon, ginger, or vanilla extract to customize the spice profile.
