Speedy stewed apricots

 

Our friends have a veritable orchard in their yard and we were lucky enough to be given an enormous pile of apricots. I have always been FODMAP intolerant but interestingly, since eating a low histamine diet, this has begun to subside. I used to be able to tolerate half an apricot a day and now I seem to be getting away with a dozen in a day with no symptoms at all. So this dish has become my new healthy dessert which I will enjoy until my apricot stash runs out. This is fabulous on its own but could also be eaten on popcorn cereal, in porridge/oatmeal or drizzled over a tolerated dessert.
