Apricot Orange Syrup with Amaretto image

My parents have an apricot tree, so I've eaten fresh apricots all my life. I'm used to eating them fresh only, but I recently purchased some apricots that ripened very quickly. I wanted to make a jam or syrup out of them and couldn't find what I wanted, so I made something up. The result is a very sweet, thick syrup. Leave out the amaretto if you don't use it in cooking.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ pound very ripe fresh apricots, pitted and halved
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
1 tablespoon water, if needed
½ teaspoon cornstarch
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Mix together the apricots, sugar, vanilla extract, orange juice, and amaretto liqueur in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the apricots are soft and have started to release their juice, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the apricots have broken down, about 1 1/2 hour. If mixture is too thick or begins to burn, stir in 1 tablespoon of water and mix well.
  • Stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup water, and pour into the apricot mixture. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the mixture forms a thick syrup, about 30 more minutes.

I'm not a big fan of amaretto, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still good.
