Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 firm-ripe large apricots
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup Disaronno Amaretto liqueur
6 amaretti (Italian almond macaroons; if paper-wrapped, use 3 packets), crumbled (1/3 cup)

APRICOT ORANGE SYRUP WITH AMARETTO



Apricot Orange Syrup with Amaretto image

My parents have an apricot tree, so I've eaten fresh apricots all my life. I'm used to eating them fresh only, but I recently purchased some apricots that ripened very quickly. I wanted to make a jam or syrup out of them and couldn't find what I wanted, so I made something up. The result is a very sweet, thick syrup. Leave out the amaretto if you don't use it in cooking.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ pound very ripe fresh apricots, pitted and halved
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
1 tablespoon water, if needed
½ teaspoon cornstarch
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Mix together the apricots, sugar, vanilla extract, orange juice, and amaretto liqueur in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the apricots are soft and have started to release their juice, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the apricots have broken down, about 1 1/2 hour. If mixture is too thick or begins to burn, stir in 1 tablespoon of water and mix well.
  • Stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup water, and pour into the apricot mixture. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the mixture forms a thick syrup, about 30 more minutes.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Brown Butter Stone Fruit Compote and Amaretto Syrup image

Provided by Eric Greenspan

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
2 apricots, pitted and cut in quarters
2 plums, pitted and cut in quarters
1 nectarine, pitted and cut in quarters
1 peach, pitted and cut in quarters
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
2 cups amaretto liqueur
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the fruit compote: Add the butter to a high-sided saute pan over medium heat and allow to brown. Once browned, add the apricots, plums, nectarines, peaches, sugar and vanilla bean. Stir to combine and cook until the fruit softens and the sugar has dissolved, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean before serving.
  • For the amaretto syrup: Pour the amaretto into a saucepan and heat through over medium heat. Keep warm.
  • For the pancakes: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon zest and juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Heat a large saute pan over a medium flame. Once heated, add 1 tablespoon of the butter. After the butter stops bubbling, pour most of it out of the pan and gently wipe the pan with a dry paper towel, leaving a thin film of fat. With a large spoon, gently ladle pancake batter into the pan, about 2 tablespoons per pancake. Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to appear on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the reverse side, about another 2 minutes. Add more butter to the pan as needed.
  • Layer the pancakes on a platter with the fruit compote between each layer. Top with more compote and drizzle with amaretto syrup just before serving.

Amaretto is a sweet Italian liquor that is enjoyed in many cocktails and desserts. Amaretto syrup is a versatile ingredient that is used in many sweet dishes, including homemade coffee syrup, cakes, and cocktails. This syrup is made by dissolving sugar in water and blending it with amaretto liquor.

History of Amaretto Syrup

The origin of amaretto syrup dates back to the Renaissance period, where it was created in Saronno, Italy. This syrup was made using almonds that were roasted and blended with sugar and apricot kernels. It was then blended with brandy, which gave it a nutty, almond flavor. Over time, the recipe for amaretto syrup was refined and updated, giving birth to the modern version of amaretto syrup we know today. Nowadays, the almond flavor in amaretto syrup is instead created with almond extract, which is combined with simple syrup and amaretto liquor.

Uses of Amaretto Syrup

Amaretto syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Some popular uses of amaretto syrup include:
1. Homemade coffee syrup:
Amaretto syrup can be used to make a delicious homemade coffee syrup that adds a sweet, nutty flavor to your favorite coffee drinks. This syrup can be used to flavor lattes, cappuccinos, and even hot cocoa.
2. Baked goods:

3. Cocktails:
Amaretto syrup is a must-have ingredient for making classic cocktails such as the Amaretto Sour, Godfather, and the Almond Joy Martini. It can also be used to infuse a sweet, nutty flavor into any cocktail creation.
4. Ice cream:
Amaretto syrup can be used to make a delicious topping for ice cream. Simply drizzle the syrup over your favorite flavor of ice cream and top with whipped cream and sliced almonds.

Making Amaretto Syrup at Home

Making amaretto syrup is a simple process that requires only a handful of ingredients.

Amaretto syrup is a delicious, sweet syrup that is made with almond and apricot flavors. It's a versatile syrup that can be used in a variety of baking and cooking applications, and it's easy to make right at home. In this article, we'll cover some valuable tips that will help you make the best amaretto syrup recipes possible.

Tips for Making Amaretto Syrup

Choose the Right Almonds
One of the key ingredients in amaretto syrup is almonds, so it's important to choose the right ones. When selecting almonds, look for high-quality whole almonds that are fresh and have a pleasant aroma. Avoid any almonds that have a rancid or stale smell, as they can ruin the flavor of your syrup.
Toast the Almonds
Toasting the almonds can add depth and complexity to your amaretto syrup recipe. To toast almonds, simply spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees. This will give them a nice nutty flavor and aroma that will enhance the overall taste of your syrup.
Use High-Quality Vanilla Extract
Another key ingredient in amaretto syrup is vanilla extract, so it's important to use a high-quality extract. Look for pure vanilla extract that doesn't contain any artificial flavors or additives. This will ensure that your syrup has a rich, complex vanilla flavor that complements the almonds and apricot flavors.
Choose the Right Sweetener
When it comes to choosing a sweetener for your amaretto syrup, you have many options. Some people prefer to use granulated sugar, while others prefer honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. When selecting a sweetener, consider the flavor of your other ingredients and choose a sweetener that will complement them well.
Make a Simple Syrup
To make amaretto syrup, you'll need to start with a simple syrup base. This is a mixture of water and sugar that is boiled until the sugar dissolves. To make a simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heat it over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
Add the Almond Flavoring
Once you've made your simple syrup, it's time to add the almond flavoring. This can be done by adding almond extract or amaretto liqueur to the syrup. The amount you add will depend on your personal taste preferences and the strength of the flavoring you're using. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve the desired flavor.
Add the Apricot Flavoring
In addition to almond flavoring, amaretto syrup also contains apricot flavoring. This can be added in the form of apricot preserves, which will give the syrup a sweet, fruity flavor. Again, the amount you add will depend on your personal taste preferences and the strength of the preserves you're using.
Strain the Syrup
Once you've added all of your flavorings, the final step is to strain the syrup. This will remove any bits of almond or apricot that may have gotten into the syrup during the cooking process. To strain the syrup, simply pour it through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container.

Conclusion

Amaretto syrup is a tasty and versatile syrup that can be used in a variety of ways. Whether you're making a dessert or a cocktail, following these tips will help you create the best amaretto syrup possible. By using high-quality ingredients, toasting the almonds, and choosing the right sweetener, you'll be able to create a syrup that's rich, complex, and delicious. So go ahead, give amaretto syrup a try and enjoy the sweet flavor of almonds and apricots in all of your favorite recipes.
