  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. To serve: Place a slice or two of your favorite pound cake onto a serving plate. Top with the cooled rum apricot sauce and a generous portion of the tropical fruit.
  6. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream (optional) and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes (optional).
