The Easiest Fruit Spread Ever

Ingredients

 * 1 lbs dried fruit (i.e. apricots)
 * 1 each water to cover

Directions
This may be obvious to everyone else, but i"ve just discovered how to make lovely "fruit butter." get a pound of dried fruit (i used apricots). Put in a heavy saucepan with enough water to cover. Simmer for two hours. If there is a lot of liquid left, but the fruit is plump and tender and breaking up, turn up the heat and evaporate the water away until there"s just a tad, like maybe ½ cup. Pour this into a blender and puree for about a minute. Comes out just a bit stiffer than baby food. Really really rich and tasty, sweet and tart. Perfect for my cream of Wheat in the morning. And toast.
