Apricot Butter
My kids were hankering for something sweet the other day. So, I made this delicious sweet apricot butter recipe. 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 favorite gluten free snacks.
Apricot Butter
- ½ cup dried apricots
- ½ cup boiled water
- ½ cup butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch celtic sea salt
- Place apricots in a shallow bowl, pour boiling water over them and let sit for ½ hour
- Place apricots and their soaking water in a food processor
and process on high for 1 minute, until apricots are smoothly pureed
- Add butter, vanilla and salt and puree another minute, until all ingredients are well blended
- Serve on gluten free toast or gluten free crackers
Serves 16

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