Fruit Sauce

Fruit Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup hot water
1 cup organic free range chicken stock
Juice of 1/2 to 3/4 lemon
2 tbsp apricot jam (use a simple apricot jam sold at most grocery stores with just apricot,
sugar, and pectin).
2 tbsp dried cherries (dried cherries with just cherries and sugar)
Pinch of salt
dash of black pepper
2 tsp tapioca flour mixed in 3 tbsp water



Add hot water to a food processor with the apricot jam and cherries. Puree smooth then add this processed mix to a saucepan with the chicken stock, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Bring all the ingredients to a simmer. Then thoroughly stir the tapioca flour and water mixture and teaspoon by teaspoon add it to the simmering sauce, stirring vigorously with each addition to prevent “clumping”. Once the tapioca is added mildly increase the heat and bring the sauce to a low boil stirring frequently. Then reduce heat back to low until ready to serve.

This is a very good sauce to go with meat, though it’s lacking something to make it really blend well with rice.
The cherries can be reduced or left out to have a more apricot flavored sauce.
