Ingredients
This delicious and easy syrup recipe calls for just three ingredients – apricot preserves, butter, and light brown sugar. You can find apricot preserves in the jam and jelly aisle of your local grocery store. You’ll need one cup of apricot preserves, two tablespoons of butter, and one-quarter cup of light brown sugar. You’ll also need a medium-sized saucepan and a whisk.
Instructions
Start by combining the apricot preserves, butter, and light brown sugar in the saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture is combined and bubbling. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about five minutes, stirring occasionally. The syrup should be thick and glossy. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for about 15 minutes.
Once the syrup has cooled, it can be used immediately or stored for later use. To store the syrup, transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To reheat the syrup, simply place it in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat until heated through.
