Apricot Compote

Ingredients

10 ripe but firm apricots (you can peel them first or not)
1/4 cup orange juice (fresh is nice but not necessary)
1/4 cup sugar

Preparation

  1. Halve or quarter your apricots and remove the pits. Place them in a saucepan with the juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the apricots are tender. The longer you cook them, the more tender (mushy, even) they will get. Serve warm or cold.
