What it is
This is a smooth, spreadable fruit product made from apricots. It has a concentrated apricot flavor and a rich, buttery texture. It is prepared from fruit that has been cooked down to a thick consistency. This process enhances the natural sweetness and deepens the fruit's color. It is a pantry staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
Apricot butter is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Its concentrated fruit flavor makes it a delightful addition to baked goods and sauces.
- Spread on toast
- Swirl into yogurt
- Glaze for roasted meats
- Filling for pastries
You can spread this apricot butter directly onto warm toast or scones for a simple breakfast treat. It is also excellent as a filling for cookies, danishes, and other baked goods, adding a burst of fruity sweetness. For a savory application, consider using it as a glaze for pork, chicken, or duck, where its sweetness balances the richness of the meat. It can also be incorporated into vinaigrettes or pan sauces to add a fruity dimension.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike apricot jam or preserves, apricot butter is typically smoother and has a more concentrated fruit flavor. It contains less added sugar and often has a thicker, more luxurious consistency. This makes it ideal for applications where a pure fruit taste is desired without the texture of whole fruit pieces.

Home bakers and cooks who enjoy adding fruit flavors to their meals will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining apricot butter in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. It should be kept cold to preserve its quality for future use.
