Apricot-Pineapple Syrup

Combine the dried apricots and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the apricots are very soft and beginning to break down.

Add the unsweetened pineapple juice and remaining 1 cup of water to the saucepan, stirring to combine.

Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a syrup-like consistency.

Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer if a completely smooth texture is desired, pressing solids with the back of a spoon to extract all liquid.

Serve warm or at room temperature over yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, or as desired.
