Ingredients for Apricot Syrup

  • Fresh Apricots
  • 1 cup water
  • White Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Light Corn Syrup

How to Make Apricot Syrup

  1. Combine 1 cup of halved apricots and 1/2 cup of water in a blender. Puree until smooth.
  2. Pour the apricot puree into a large saucepan.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the remaining apricots and water.
  4. Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and corn syrup (if using) to the saucepan.
  5. Stir the mixture over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup comes to a rolling boil.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to boil gently, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  7. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface of the syrup.
  8. While the syrup is still hot, pour it into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
  9. Place sterilized metal lids on the jars and screw on the metal bands securely.
  10. For longer shelf life, process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Ensure jars are completely submerged. Remove and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
