“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.†~François de la Rochefoucauld
There’s something about a perfectly balanced meal that just makes life feel a little brighter, isn’t there? For me, food is more than sustenance—it’s comfort, creativity, and pure joy. And today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s as simple as it is versatile: Easy Crockpot Apricot Butter. This stuff is magic—seriously, it’s like liquid gold for your toast, scones, or even as a spread on sandwiches. It’s also a great way to use up those seasonal apricots before they’re gone for the year.
Now, I’ll admit, I’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth, and my go-to snack lately has been a toasted baguette topped with creamy goat cheese and a generous dollop of this apricot butter. It’s the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and rich. If you’re looking for something indulgent yet healthy, this combo is where it’s at.
Last weekend, we went to the farmer’s market and came home with a big haul of ripe apricots. They were so beautiful, so juicy, and so perfect that I couldn’t resist making something special with them. After slicing and pitting the fruits, we blended them until smooth using either a food processor or a high-powered blender. The texture is key here—you want it silky and smooth, but not too runny.
Once blended, we transferred the mixture into the crockpot and added two cups of granulated sugar, two tablespoons of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of cloves. Stirring everything together, we let it simmer on low heat for about 8-10 hours. By the time it was done, the aroma alone was enough to make anyone swoon. Imagine walking into a bakery filled with warm cinnamon rolls and fresh apple pies—it was THAT good. Honestly, I almost wanted to eat it straight out of the pot!
Once the butter was cooked, we ladled it into sterilized jars while still piping hot. To ensure a proper seal, we flipped the jars upside down on a clean kitchen towel and left them to cool completely. Within a few hours, the lids popped, indicating a tight vacuum seal. Easy peasy, right?
Now, if you’re anything like me, you’ll probably find yourself sneaking spoonfuls of this Apricot Butter straight from the jar. Trust me, it’s irresistible! And because it keeps well in the fridge, you can enjoy it anytime you need a little boost of sweetness.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a fun project to try this weekend, definitely give this recipe a shot. Your taste buds will thank you. Oh, and don’t forget to share—if you do, I might just forgive you for taking some of my stash.
