Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Apricot-Honey Butter

 

Ingredients

3 cup dried apricots (2 lbs)
2 tbsp grated lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup honey
3 tbsp finely chopped crystallized
1 ginger



 

Preparation

In a heavy saucepan, combine apricots, lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon
juice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and
simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the apricots
are soft. Transfer the apricots and the cooking liquid to a food
processor and puree until smooth. Return to the saucepan, along with
honey and the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice. Simmer, stirring often,
until very thick, about 1 hour. Stir in crystallized ginger and let
cool. (The butter can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up
to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.) Source: Eating Well
