How to Make Apricot Sauce For Custard

  1. Wash 1 pound of fresh apricots and soak them in warm water for 6-8 hours, or overnight. Remove the pits using a sharp knife.
  2. Mash the apricots slightly. In a saucepan, combine the apricots with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the apricots are very soft (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Let the sauce cool completely.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a topping for your favorite custard. Garnish with chopped apricot kernels (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
