About this recipe
Apricot kompot is a fruit drink made with apricots, lemon juice, sugar, and a touch of vanilla. The apricots bring a sweet-tart flavor and a pleasant summer aroma, lemon adds freshness, and vanilla gently rounds out the drink. Cook the kompot briefly so the fruit releases its flavor without losing all its texture. Serve this homemade kompot well chilled or slightly warm to suit the time of day and the meal.
Ingredients
Servings: 6
400 g apricots
1.5 liters water
1 tablespoon sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
a pinch of vanilla
Steps
Wash the apricots, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Leave very soft fruit in larger pieces so it does not fall apart right away during cooking.
Bring the water, sugar, and vanilla to a boil. Add the apricots to the hot liquid and reduce the heat so the kompot simmers gently.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, until the apricots release their color and soften slightly. Add the lemon juice at the end to balance the sweetness of the ripe fruit.
Let the kompot stand for a few minutes so the apricot flavor deepens. Serve with the apricot halves, or strain it if you prefer a clearer drink.
