Apricot sauce

4 servings

30 minutes

Apricot sauce is a refined French creation that embodies the delicate sweet-sourness of apricots. Historically, France loves to pair fruits with exquisite sauces, and this sauce has become an elegant addition to desserts and meat dishes. Its flavor is a subtle balance of apricot sweetness and the depth of white wine that unfolds with each bite. The sauce perfectly highlights the tenderness of duck breast, harmonizes with cheese platters, and adds sophistication to ordinary pancakes. It is easy to prepare: apricots are first boiled until soft, then pureed, enriched with sugar and white wine, resulting in a silky texture. This sauce embodies the French approach to gastronomy where each ingredient plays its exquisite part.
