Directions
This may be obvious to everyone else, but I've just discovered how to make lovely "fruit butter."
Get a pound of dried fruit (I used apricots).
Put in a heavy saucepan with enough water to cover.
Simmer for two hours.
If there is a lot of liquid left, but the fruit is plump and tender and breaking up, turn up the heat and evaporate the water away until there's just a tad, like maybe ½ cup.
Pour this into a blender and purée for about a minute.
Comes out just a bit stiffer than baby food.
Really really rich and tasty, sweet and tart.
Perfect for my cream of wheat in the morning and toast.
