Recipe: Apricot Butter

This butter could be used with ice cream, or on toast. I'll keep scouting out some more for you!

APRICOT BUTTER

10 cups sliced apricots 
1 cup water 
sugar 
1/3 cup orange juice 
1 tbsp granted orange rind 

Add water to apricots and cook until soft.

Press through sieve (or run them through the blender).

Measure and to each cup pulp add 2/3 cup sugar. Add juice and grated orange rind. Cook until thick (about 10-15 minutes).

Pour into sterilized pint jars to within 1/2 inch of top. Put on cap, screw band firmly tight and process in boiling water bath ten minutes.
