I looooove this butter!! I did not have apricot jam, but did have dried apricots. I cut them into small pieces, soaked them overnight in orange juice, and in the morning I simmered them until they were jam-like. When cool, I added the butter, orange zest and Grand Marnier! Oh my, it is good! After I had mixed it to a smooth butter, then I added the rest of the jam... I will definitely made this again, I can't say it will be as good with the jam, but it sure is delicious made with dried apricots!! I love citrus flavours, this is perfect on warm tea biscuits!

I recently moved to Alaska from Arizona for my husbands job. Right now I am staying home with our 2-year-old daughter. We are all still trying to discover Anchorage and all that Alaska has to offer. I love everything about food. Shopping for food, cooking food, and eating food. My mother is an amazing baker, and I am fortunate that she passed that on to me.
My husband is from Zambia, in southern Africa, so we cook a lot of traditional Zambian dishes. I love to cook but rarely do I measure and track cooking times. I am the kind of cook that just throws things together until I get what I am looking for.
