Ingredients
- 1 cup apricots (chopped)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 jalapeno (finely diced)
- ½ cup white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Add chopped apricots and sugar to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce reaches 220°F or reaches the gel stage for jam.
- Once the desired temperature is reached, add the finely diced jalapenos and white wine vinegar. Stir well and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from heat and transfer it to a heatproof container. Let it cool before storing in the refrigerator or use immediately.
- Optional: Serve with cream cheese and crackers or use as a glaze for grilled meats.
Pro Tips:
- If fresh apricots are unavailable, substitute with apricot jam for a quicker version.
- Remove seeds from jalapenos for a milder heat.
- Stir the sauce often to avoid burning, and remember it will thicken as it cools.
