The Easiest Fruit Spread Ever

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.
