  3. Add 2 cups of fresh or frozen pitted apricots and ½ teaspoon of almond extract (ensure it's alcohol-free).
  4. Gently simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until apricots are tender but still hold their shape. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  7. Before serving, stir in ¼ cup of slivered almonds.
