To add flavor to the apricot compote, I added tarragon to it. I show what I did.
I love using “pasture” in my recipes. I usually collect it in my mother-in-law's garden. She has many interesting things growing. This time, I liked the herb called tarragon.
Tarragon has a rich and bright taste. It is on its basis that Tarhun soda is made. I will definitely prepare homemade tarragon for the blog, but next time. Now let's cook apricot compote with tarragon.
A step-by-step recipe on how to make apricot and tarragon compote (tarragon)
Ingredients:
- Apricots ~ 500 g
- Sugar 2 cups
- Water 2-2.5 liters
- Tarragon 5 branches
My apricots, cut in half and remove the seeds. I transfer the fruits to a 3 liter jar. I fill the jar with apricots one third full. This will take about 500 g of pitted apricots.
I add washed tarragon twigs, pour boiling water over and leave for 10 minutes.
After the indicated time, pour the liquid into the pan and add sugar. I put the syrup on the fire, bring it to a boil and pour it back into the jar.
I roll up the lid, turn it over and put it in a cold oven until it cools completely.
Due to the fact that the liquid will cool slowly in the oven, you can not pre-sterilize the jar. I usually just wash it with running water.
I put the compote in the closet in a dark place. It is stored there for 3-4 months, it can be longer, but in our family they drink it faster.
