Apricot Butter


gluten free apricot butter

My kids were hankering for something sweet the other day. So, I made this delicious sweet apricot butter. It's not a jam - it's real butter with dried fruit pureed into it. Great on warm toast. It is one of my younger son's favorites.

    What can you substitute if you don't do dairy?

  2. Kevin,

    I'm not sure. Although I don't use them, you could try a butter substitute.

    This would be a great question for my newly launched forums. One of my other readers may have some advice or suggestions.

    If I do not eat dairy, soy, wheat, anything white like sugar, salt, corn, gluten, GMO's, can you suggest anything that would taste like butter?
    Is there a natural butter flavor that could be added to coconut oil or olive oil?
    Thanks
