  • Prep Time 5 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 3 cups water
    • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon agave nectar (more if desired)
    • 4 strips organic orange peel, each about 3 inches long
    • 6 medium-ripe apricots (about 1 pound), pitted and cut into sixths or quarters

Directions

  1. Bring water, agave nectar, and orange peel to a brisk simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add apricots, pushing down to cover with liquid; reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until apricots are just tender, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on ripeness.
  2. Transfer apricots gently with a slotted spoon to a shallow bowl or dish. Pour just enough liquid over them to cover and return saucepan with remaining liquid to stove. Simmer over medium-high until reduced by half and lightly syrupy, about 10 minutes.
  3. Strain syrup into dish with apricots. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and serve.
