Wow!! What a flavor this sauce has. Sweet and tart from the apricot and just slightly rummy-just enough to taste. It’s delicious! I wish I had made this earlier in the week when I made the baked sweet potato fries-it would have been delicious on them.
I made this recipe for the a recipe swap that I’m involved in with some other great blogger friends which is hosted by Sarah from http://tasteofhomecooking.blogspot.com. This swap’s theme was ‘cooking with alcohol’. The recipe below is from Jen at www.becomingpigzilla.com (what a cute name!!), originally from Food Network.
Apricot & Rum Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tbsp dark rum
Instructions:
- Put both ingredients into a small sauce pan. Cook for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Serve
I cooked this down longer than the original recipe instructed as I wanted it to be a little thinner-more of a glaze consistency as you can see below. I heated up some spring rolls that I had in the freezer but you could put this on anything-grilled chicken, shrimp etc…
