If you are like me and have had the bad luck of coming home with ripe apricots that couldn’t stand the trip and ended up soft, you can always make a good apricot sauce to save the day. This recipe is very easy to follow and lets you use ripe fruit to make a quick dessert. Spices and almonds enhance the tart flavor of apricots. Cooking time depends on the fruit’s ripeness, but always keep an eye on what’s cooking so you don’t burn it.
