Aprium Butter

* An aprium is a combination of an apricot and a plum. Found in the produce section of your grocery store.

In a medium cast iron or heavy bottom skillet add butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Over medium-low heat, melt and stir to combine.

Place aprium wedges in a single layer on the butter/sugar mixture. Add lemon juice and salt and grate nutmeg over top of fruit. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.

When done, put into food processor and process until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Use as a sauce for good vanilla bean ice cream while still warm. If you refrigerate this, it thickens and becomes a luxurious butter for breakfast or brunch.

cook's notes

When I saw this beautiful light yellow fuzzy fruit I was intrigued. It feels like a peach but is smaller than a plum.

It has a surprisingly strong flavored juice. I put it on my ice cream at night and by morning it was thick and velvety and put it on my toast.
