How to Make Apricot Sauce

  1. Combine 1 pound fresh apricots and 1 cup apple juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from heat and let the apricots cool completely.
  4. Strain the apricots, reserving the cooking liquid. Set aside the cooked apricots.
  5. Chop the cooled apricots and set aside.
  6. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together ½ cup orange juice, ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped apricots, ½ cup of the reserved apricot cooking liquid, and 2 tablespoons of vermouth (optional).
  9. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
