How to Make Apricot Orange Butter
- Combine apricots, orange zest, orange juice, butter, and sugar in a medium saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apricots are softened and the mixture begins to bubble (about 10-15 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the butter has thickened and resembles a smooth, spreadable consistency (approximately 45-55 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer the apricot orange butter to a small jar or container. Allow to cool completely before covering and refrigerating.
- Enjoy on toast, scones, biscuits, or use as a glaze for cakes and pastries!
