“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.†~Virginia Woolf
I couldn’t agree more with Virginia Woolf. Eating well truly sets the tone for everything else in life—your mood, energy, and even your creativity. So when I stumbled upon this simple recipe for apricot butter recently, I knew it had to be shared. It’s an easy project that yields a deliciously versatile spread perfect for adding a touch of sweetness to your mornings, snacks, and even savory dishes like roasted chicken or grilled meats.
As someone who adores creamy textures paired with tangy flavors, my go-to indulgence is slicing a fresh baguette, toasting it lightly, and spreading it generously with goat cheese before drizzling with a generous layer of this apricot butter. The combination is divine—sweet, tangy, and slightly nutty from the toasted bread. Honestly, it’s become a weekly ritual for me, especially during the summer months when apricots are at their peak.
Last weekend, inspired by a particularly fruitful trip to the farmers’ market, we found ourselves with an abundance of ripe apricots. After much deliberation, we decided to transform half of our haul into this homemade apricot butter. Washing and pitting the fruit was straightforward, but the real magic happened when we blended them until velvety smooth. From there, we transferred the mixture to the crockpot, added a couple of cups of sugar, a generous sprinkle of cinnamon, and just a hint of cloves for depth. The aroma that wafted through the house as it cooked was intoxicating—it smelled like a mix of cinnamon rolls, apple pie, and summer sun, making the entire kitchen feel warm and inviting.
We let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 8 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally. By the time it was done, the apricot butter had thickened beautifully, taking on a rich amber hue. Once it cooled slightly, we carefully ladled it into sterilized jars, sealing them tightly before flipping them upside down to create an airtight vacuum seal. It’s such a satisfying process, knowing you’ve created something nourishing and flavorful from scratch.
The final result? Pure bliss. This apricot butter is not only a treat for breakfast but also a fantastic addition to desserts, marinades, or even glazes for meats. I’ve already started dreaming up new ways to incorporate it into my meals—like swirling it into yogurt bowls or using it as a base for homemade granola bars.
So, if you’re looking for a fun weekend project that doubles as a pantry staple, give this crockpot apricot butter recipe a try. Your taste buds—and your loved ones—will thank you. And hey, if you end up making more than you can handle, maybe consider gifting a jar or two. Sharing is caring, right?
