| 1 | This may be obvious to everyone else, but i"ve just discovered how to make lovely "fruit butter." get a pound of dried fruit (i used apricots). |
| 2 | Put in a heavy saucepan with enough water to cover. |
| 3 | Simmer for two hours. |
| 4 | If there is a lot of liquid left, but the fruit is plump and tender and breaking up, turn up the heat and evaporate the water away until there"s just a tad, like maybe ?cup. |
| 5 | Pour this into a blender and puree for about a minute. |
| 6 | Comes out just a bit stiffer than baby food. |
| 7 | Really really rich and tasty, sweet and tart. |
| 8 | Perfect for my cream of wheat in the morning. |
| 9 | And toast. |
