Amardeen or Apricot paste
I ❤️ apricots so much; definitely my favourite fruit. My friend brought me some Amardeen from the Lebanon to try 😍😍😍 And i thought i might be able to make it at home.
Simple to make... the hardest bit was remembering it was in the oven! It’s a low and slooooooooow bake. The smell is wonderful and the results are totally joyous. #vegan
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Preheat oven to 60C - 75C.
* Step 2
In a pan, heat the apricots, lime juice and water on a medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
* Step 3
When the fruit is starting to break down, add the agave gradually. Keep tasting to decide how sweet you want it.
* Step 4
Simmer for about 10 mins.
* Step 5
Put the mix in the blender and blend for a minute or so til smooth.
* Step 6
Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Pour the apricot mix onto the sheet leaving a couple of centimetres free at the edge.
* Step 7
Bake for about 4 hours. The paste dries out but needs to be slightly sticky when you touch it.
* Step 8
When it’s ready, cut (with scissors) the paste/ paper into strips. You can roll the paste while still on the paper - or take it off first and then roll.
* Step 9
Peel the fruit off the paper and enjoy 😍 Keep in an airtight container in the fridge... if you don’t finish it off immediately!
