Ingredients

  • 6 apricots
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lavender

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  • Make a small x on the bottom of each apricot with a sharp knife.
  • Add apricots to water and leave for 1-2 minutes, until the apricot skins start to come off.
  • Remove from boiling water and immediately place in a bowl with ice water or run with cold water.
  • Remove skin and pit the apricots. Puree apricots in a blender or food processor. Add lemon juice and mix to combine.
  • In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add lavender and mix until combined.
  • Add apricot-lemon juice to butter mix and beat until thoroughly combined.
  • Transfer to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Make sure you use a saucepan large enough so there is extra room. The mixture will froth up a lot as it boils.
  • Reduce to medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 25-30 minutes until thickened and the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
  • Chill and it will thicken more.
