Apricot Ice Cream

• Pit all the apricots.
• Cook the apricots in little water over medium heat until the mixture becomes a little mushy.
• Drain the apricots and preserve the cooking juice.
• Blend the apricots.
• To the cooking juices, add water to it to make a syrup of it and add sugar and cook the whole mixture for 10 minutes.
• When the apricots feel cool enough, add the syrup to it and blend well in a blender.
• Whip the cream and gently add it to the apricot mix.
• Pour the whole mixture into an ice cream container and freeze till it is semi-solid.
• Keep stirring and keep shifting the solid parts into the center instead of letting them settle in the edges.
• Mix well.
• Cover the whole mixture again and this time freeze till it becomes hard.
• You can garnish with your favorite nuts or grate a little bit of apricot and top up the ice cream with it. Pouring sweet sauces into it is also a lovely idea.
• Have a wonderful binge!
