- Remove from heat. Discard zest, then stir in rum. Transfer apricot mixture to a bowl and cool slightly, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
- Purée in a food processor until mixture is very smooth. Add water to purée if necessary to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled.
