Apricot sauce
Description
A delicious addition to everyday and festive dishes. Honestly, this apricot sauce was originally made to serve with porridge. However, just out of curiosity, I tried it with meat... and was amazed at how delicious it was :) Of course, not everyone enjoys sweet and sour sauces with meat, but if you're not afraid of a little exotic twist—give it a try, you won't regret it. Serve the sauce with meat, fish, or use it as a salad dressing.
