APRICOT ORANGE SYRUP WITH AMARETTO



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.

ALBICOCCHE AL FORNO (BAKED APRICOTS WITH AMARETTI)



Albicocche Al Forno (Baked Apricots With Amaretti) image

A delicious Italian classic often also made with peaches, but I prefer it with apricots. The apricots are filled with amaretti cookies, amaretto, sugar and egg yolk and baked in the oven with white wine. They can be served warm or at room temperature and are delicious paired with vanilla ice cream or white chocolate mousse. However, I also love them on their own. They were a big hit at a party I catered for. However, at the party I had far too much filling for the apricots. Maybe I've made a mistake when multiplying the recipe. I will try it out again and make changes to the recipe if necessary.
