This apricot jam sauce is so easy to make and tastes great – perfect for a tasty breakfast! 
Fruit compote (or what I like to call “jam sauce”) is a super easy & delicious way to use up some fruit! It’s not quite a viscous as a jam or jelly (no pectin), but it’s not really runny like a syrup. I love making it with all kinds of different fruit. In fact, I’ve shared a few here on the blog before! Our peach jam sauce and plum jam sauce are SOOoooo good! But, if you’re a fan of apricots, you’re sure to love this too! Mmmmm….
The beauty of recipes like this is that they are SO easy to make! This one only has 3 ingredients – it doesn’t get much simpler than that! Easy, delicious, and few ingredients!

My fav jam is a spiced peach jam my late Mother used to prep and can. However I dont have the recipe so I can only enjoy it from memory.
Such a great recipe! Thank you! I let the fruit sit in sugar and juice for about 1 1/4 hours before cooking. Also used closer to 3 TBS lemon juice. Cooked down in about 30 minutes.
