When I see recipes that use apricot dipping sauce, I notice that they always use some prepackaged dipping sauce or even frozen apricot dipping sauce!

“Nooooo!” I find myself saying that in my head.

This dipping sauce is so quick and easy to make, so, there is no excuse to use a canned or frozen version.

You only need 10 minutes to make this dipping sauce.

Let me show you just how easy it is to make this recipe. Bring all the ingredients together on low heat and after 10 minutes, you have mixture ready to strain.

In Florida, apricots are found almost all year round and so are mangoes. Depending upon the month, sometimes we get mangoes from Mexico, California, Peru or Guatemala. Either way, Floridians have mangoes whenever we want.

I like using mangoes as much as possible. This reduces the amount of sugar that I have to use and it makes it very healthy. Mangoes add sugar without adding too much sweetness to the apricot dipping sauce.

There is one main note to make here. Keep all the ingredients in large chunks. Many of them will be tossed out after they have done their job. Large chunks will make it easier to do so.

So, now, are you going to make Apricot dipping sauce from fresh ingredients?

  1. Wow, the color is just gorgeous! I have trouble finding decent fresh apricots here…but it would be worth the hunt to make your delicious sauce 🙂

    1. Thank you, Liz. I am glad you like it. In Florida, we can get apricots anytime. If you don’t find them, then I think the canned one will work. I hope you get to make it.
