Ingredients

• 1/2  cup dried apricots, cut into thin slivers
• 1/3  cup dried tart cherries
• 1  cup sugar
• 1/2  cup water
• 1/4  cup dark-color corn syrup
• 2  Tbsp. brandy or orange juice
• 1  Tbsp. butter

Directions

1. In a saucepan combine apricots, cherries, sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in brandy and butter. Serve at once or transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. If chilled, before serving, transfer sauce to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally. Makes about 1-1/4 cups (10 2-tablespoon servings).

Test Kitchen Tip: Measure the dried apricot halves first, then cut into slivers using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
