This is a very easy recipe made with only a few ingredients. The apricots can be served with chicken, pork or Turkish dolma pilav. This should be enough for two people but it can easily be scaled up.
Ingredients
[edit | edit source]Procedure
[edit | edit source]- Soak dried apricots in a large volume of water for around 10 minutes.
- Combine the 1 cup water and the sugar, and taste to adjust sweetness.
- Bring sugar mixture to a boil and add apricots.
- Simmer until the liquid is reduced. The traditional consistency is close to a light syrup.
Notes, tips, and variations
[edit | edit source]- If reduced until it is a dark syrup it will be very hot and harden quickly, so plan accordingly.
- If serving as a dessert you can reduce to a light syrup and stuff or garnish with walnuts.
- This is good served with Turkish dolma pilav, or with a chicken or pork dish. It can also be served on its own with nuts as a dessert.
