How to Make Apricot Sauce For Custard
- 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.
- 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).
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Let the sauce cool completely.
- 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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
