Apricot Butter/Curd
« on: November 21, 2011, 01:04:45 am »
I have modified this from a recipe I have from 'The Family Circle -Jams and Preserves' book. It is lip smacking!!  ;)
Add into TMX bowl:
*100g Apricot Jam (fresh made using 1kg apricots to 1kg sugar 25-30mins varoma -100oC speed 1-2)
4 eggs
100ml lemon juice
180g unsalted butter
80oC, speed 3, 7-8min
Enjoy on freshly made scones.
*To make with dried apricots rehydrate 100g in 125ml boiling water for 30min and add 125g caster sugar.
 :)

This sounds very nice. I was trying to think of something more descriptive to say. I can just imagine how lovely it would be on scones or even toast in the morning. Definitely to be made.

Yes thank you.  I made some apricot jam a couple of days ago so will use some of that to make this.  Yum.   :)

Nay-nay,  does the amount of dried make enough as a substitute in the recipe?

The amounts mentioned with the * is what you substitute. After soaking the 100g dried apricots add with the water they soaked in and the sugar to the eggs, butter and lemon.  :) I used 100g of jam but looking at it again could very well use 200g. But mine turned out great.

I made this again today following this recipe - it was far too lemony (not like last time) So even though this is the original recipes measure I would only put in a squeeze (20-40g) of lemon so the apricotty flavour comes through. My sister still loved it but I know how yummy the last batch was.  :-))

Yummmmm. How long is it safe to keep this? I want to make it as a Christmas present and have all the details on the labels.

I think it would be best kept in the fridge and should keep for at least a couple of weeks I should think.

I just made this to put on some scones.  I personally think it needs to be a bit more apricot-y.  I did use the dried apricot method though, whether or not that made any difference.  I think I will soak some more dried apricots, finely chop, and mix through my existing mixture to make it a bit more apricot-y and add a bit of texture too.
