     I made Brandied Apricot Butter to spread on slices of the walnut bread I recently baked (recipe HERE).  It was good, but the butter was competing with the strong walnut flavor.  The way to eat this Brandied Apricot Butter -- on slices of toasted sourdough bread.  Delicious!

                                            recipe by Naomi Hebberoy

• 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1/4 cup Cognac
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened
• Salt

1.  In a small saucepan, soak the apricots in the Cognac for 10 minutes. Bring to a boil; using a match, ignite the apricots.  When flames subside, add the brown sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a food processor.  Once the apricots have cooled, add the butter and process until fairly smooth. Season with salt.

Apricots are my mom's favorite. I'll have to make this on her next visit. She supplies the tea breads -- such a deal!
