I love dried apricot! I doubled this recipe so I could have more of it! It made for a nice light dessert and a snack.

This compote was lovely, I served it with biryani as a side dish. I would probably cut down the amount of sugar when I make it again, mainly because I do not have a sweet tooth. Thanks so much for posting this.
