Easy to make, beautiful to behold and absolutely tasty, the Apricot Sauce has all the attributes you would desire in a dessert topping! Above all, it has a really tanatalising aroma, which is sure to draw everybody’s attention. The use of lemon juice seems to accentuate the aroma further, while also giving the sauce a refreshing tang.

This Apricot Sauce adds a lovely touch to desserts like mousses , puddings and pies It takes less than ten minutes to cook, blend and strain this sauce. You just need to remember to soak the dried apricots an hour earlier.
