Apricot honey syrup is a delicious and versatile sweetener that can be used to flavour cocktails, drizzle over pancakes or waffles, or even to marinade meat or vegetables. The sweet taste of apricot combined with the sticky texture of honey creates a unique flavour that is both sweet and tangy. In this article we will provide you with valuable tips to help you make the perfect apricot honey syrup.

1. Choose the right apricots

To make a great apricot honey syrup, it is important to choose the right apricots. Look for apricots that are ripe, and have a nice bright orange colour. Avoid apricots that are too soft or too hard. Ripe apricots should feel slightly soft to the touch, but still firm. Wash the apricots thoroughly before using them.

2. Cut the apricots into small pieces

To extract the most flavour and sweetness from the apricots, it is important to cut them into small pieces before cooking. This will help release the juices and flavour from the fruit during the cooking process. Aim for bite size pieces that are roughly 1cm in size.

3. Use a heavy bottomed pot

When cooking the apricot honey syrup, it is important to use a heavy bottomed pot. This will help to distribute heat evenly, preventing the syrup from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot. A heavy bottomed pot will also help to retain heat, keeping the syrup hot as it simmers.

4. Add water to the apricots and honey

When making apricot honey syrup, it is important to add water to the mixture. This will help to thin out the syrup and create a more pourable texture. For each cup of apricots and honey, add half a cup of water. This will create a syrup that is not too thick, but not too runny.

5. Simmer the syrup slowly

When cooking the apricot honey syrup, it is important to simmer the mixture slowly. This will help to extract the most flavour from the apricots, and prevent the syrup from overheating and burning. Simmer the syrup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

6. Strain the syrup

After the apricot honey syrup has simmered for around 20 minutes, it should be ready to strain. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the syrup, removing any solids or seeds from the mixture. This will create a smooth and pourable syrup.

7. Store the syrup properly

To store the apricot honey syrup, transfer it to a clean glass jar or bottle. Make sure that the container is airtight, to prevent the syrup from spoiling. Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to one month.

8. Experiment with flavours

Apricot honey syrup can be flavoured in a variety of ways. Try adding cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, or even a touch of cayenne pepper to the syrup to create a unique flavour. Consider adding other fruits or herbs to the mixture such as lemon, lavender, or mint to create a more complex flavour.

9. Use in a variety of ways

Once you have made your apricot honey syrup, it can be used in a variety of ways. Use it to sweeten tea or coffee, drizzle it over pancakes or waffles, or use it as a glaze for grilled meats or vegetables. The possibilities are endless.

Conclusion

Making your own apricot honey syrup is a great way to add a touch of sweetness and flavour to your favourite dishes and beverages. Use the tips provided in this article to create the perfect apricot honey syrup. Remember to choose the right apricots, simmer the syrup slowly, and experiment with different flavours. Enjoy!
