How to Make Lekvar Prune Plum Filling Or Apricot
- Combine 1 lb prunes (or 1 lb apricots, pitted and chopped), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional) in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is very soft and most of the water has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
- Uncover the saucepan during the last few minutes of cooking to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
- Remove from heat and carefully mash the fruit using a potato masher or immersion blender until you reach your desired consistency. Leave some texture for a chunkier lekvar, or blend until smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Let cool completely.
- Transfer the lekvar to a sterilized jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
