Summer Fruit Sauces

Homemade apricot sauce on pancakes.

There are so many summer fruits available now that it's the perfect time to whip up some fruit sauces. Homemade sauces are also a good way to use up over ripe fruit.

I love maple syrup on pancakes but this morning I made apricot sauce and it was a welcome change.

All I did was mash up a cup of ripe apricots, add some sugar and simmer it over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Soft fruits like apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries and berries transform into a sauce so much faster than firmer fruits like apples.  It really takes no time at all and is so good.

Besides topping pancakes, enjoy the sauces as is or try them on waffles, toast, yogurt or ice cream.

    I love this idea! Do you feel the Apricots before mashing?

    Sorry - auto correct is not always correct..."peel" the apricots:)

    First off, thank you so much for reading the blog.

    I don't peel the apricots. Also be sure to add enough sugar when you cook apricots. For some strange reason, they tend to go tart when introduced to heat.
