Makes 16 servings
This sugar, cholesterol and fat-free fruit butter couldn't be any easier to make, and no one will ever guess that this rich tasting spread is made from just two ingredients. It is wonderful as a spread on toasted bread and a great topping for frozen yogurt.
 
Ingredients
1 cup dried apricots (5 ounces)
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
   
1. Combine apricots and juice in small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
2. Pour mixture into blender or food processor; process until smooth. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate in airtight container or jar with tight fitting lid up to 3 months.
 
Health Note   Apricots are a super source of beta carotene. Research continues to show that antioxidants, such as beta carotene, have a disease-fighting role. Try dried apricots for a wonderful, quick snack to help increase your beta carotene intake.
