Steps:
- Add apricots and water to a large, preferably non-stick, saucepan.
- Bring almost to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until apricots are tender.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer to a food processor, or use an immersion blender.to puree the fruit. You should have about 5 cups of puree.
- Return puree to saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice.
- Simmer mixture over low to medium-low heat until mixture thickens, stirring often to prevent scorching. This took me about 1 and ¼ hours.
- Thickened mixture will leave a clear space in the pan when you pull your spoon through it.
- Pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan and let cool.
- Let the paste dry at room temperature until the top is dry and no longer sticky. Remove from pan, invert and let the bottom dry. This may take anywhere from 2-3 days in an arid environment to a week or more. Alternatively, dry in a food dehydrator or set in the sun to dry (cover with cheesecloth to keep the bugs away!).
- Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.
