A Recipe for
Apricot-Honey Butter
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

In a heavy saucepan, combine apricots, lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon
juice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and
simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the apricots
are soft. Transfer the apricots and the cooking liquid to a food
processor and puree until smooth. Return to the saucepan, along with
honey and the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice. Simmer, stirring often,
until very thick, about 1 hour. Stir in crystallized ginger and let
cool. (The butter can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up
to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.) Source: Eating Well
