MICROWAVE APRICOT BUTTER several lb. apricots sugar water Wash, pit and crush the apricots. Cook in large, heavy saucepan with 1/4 as much water as fruit, e.g. 4 cups fruit and 1 cup water. Watch closely as it may stick. When pulp is soft, run through a colander or buzz in blender (I prefer the blender, as skins turn soft and are delicious). Working with about 4 cups of pulp at a time, stir in 1/2 cup sugar for each cup of pulp. Heat mixture at full intensity in microwave for about 10 minutes to bring up heat. Then cook on Defrost (40% intensity) for about an hour. When butter is thick, but still moist on top, ladle into sterile containers and freeze. .PRTOPT1*SYSPRT QSYSPRT *LIBL .PRTOPT2QBATCH *LIBL 000 .PRTSYS1003060066006001*STD 00610 .PRTSYS2*FILE *FILE .PRTDRT1N 000870106 .PRTHDG1 *LIBL NY .PRTFTG1 *LIBL NY .DCT US QENGLISH .DCT RECIPE RPLIB .PF 1 1 64N1N02 N .PF 2 1 64N1N06 N .PF 3 6 32N1N0L N .PF 4 1 63Y1N07 Y .PF 5 1 36N1N04 N .PF 6 1 64N1N07 N .PF 7 1 64N1N04 N .PF 8 1 64N1N06 N .PF 9 11 63Y1N0O Y .PF 10 1 64N1N06 N .PF 11 1 63Y1N07 Y .PF 12 11 63Y1N0O Y This is a recipe from our database at Cookbooks On/Line! 1,000,000+ free recipes and free software at: http://www.cookbooks.com Accuracy is believed to be good, but is not guaranteed.
