Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups water
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon agave nectar (more if desired)
4 strips organic orange peel, each about 3 inches long
6 medium-ripe apricots (about 1 pound), pitted and cut into sixths or quarters

Steps:

  • Bring water, agave nectar, and orange peel to a brisk simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add apricots, pushing down to cover with liquid; reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until apricots are just tender, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on ripeness.
