Apricot Honey Butter Recipe

1. 1

   Combine apricots, lemon zest, lemon juice, crystallized ginger, and 2 cups water in a heavy-bottomed, medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until apricots are tender, about 15 minutes for plump juicy apricots and up to 30 minutes for tougher, drier apricots.

2. 2

   Transfer the apricot mixture and cooking liquid to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and add the honey and pectin, if using. Bring to a boil and boil hard for one minute.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Ladle the hot apricot butter into hot, sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
