No-sugar Apricot Spread

(MAKES 1 POT)

• 175 g/6 oz/1 cup dried apricots
• 1 eating (dessert) apple, chopped
• 5 ml/1 tsp lemon juice

Put the apricots in a bowl and add enough water just to cover, no more. Leave to soak overnight. Toss the apple in a lemon juice to prevent browning. Place the apricots with their water and the apple in blender or food processor. Blend (puree) until smooth. Turn into a clean screw-topped jar and store in the fridge or up to 2 weeks.
