Apricot and Pine Nut Compote

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Makes 6 to 8 servings
INGREDIENTS

2 pounds (1 kg) fresh apricots, halved, peeled, and pitted
3 tablespoons lavender honey
3 tablespoons pine nuts

PREPARATION

Place the apricots in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
They will first sizzle and then give up their juices.
Cook until they are tender and very juicy, about 20 minutes, then stir in the honey and
continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the compote from the stove, stir in the pine nuts, and either serve immediately or let
cool to room temperature first.

Note: The recipe calls for lavender honey, which is best, but if you
cannot find it, use a floral honey that is on the mild side. The amount
of honey you use really depends on your sweet tooth and the sweet
ripeness of the apricots.
