Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Gewurztraminer wine
3/4 cup sugar
10 green cardamom pods
5 whole star anise
3 wide strips fresh lemon zest
2 cups dried apricots
Preparation
Bring wine, 3/4 cup water, the sugar, cardamom, star anise, and lemon zest to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves.
Add apricots, cover with a round of parchment, and simmer until fruit is softened and plump, about 45 minutes. Let apricots in syrup cool to room temperature.
