Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh apricots
• 75 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 120 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the apricots thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Continue to cook the apricots for around 10-15 minutes until they become soft and start to break down.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked apricots to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.

Step 8

If desired for a smoother texture, strain the coulis through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining solids.

Step 9

Allow the apricot coulis to cool completely before using it as a topping or a sauce.

Step 10

Store any leftover coulis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
