Simmer dried apricots with a cinnamon stick, cloves and lemon zest in a pressure cooker to make this compote. No sweetener is added, so it relies on the apricots’ natural sweetness. The pressure cooker shortens the usual soaking and simmering time, making this lower-calorie treat easy to pack in a lunchbox.
Rinse the dried apricots in cold water.
Put the apricots, water, cinnamon stick, cloves and lemon zest in the pressure cooker, then close the lid.
Bring the cooker to pressure over high heat. Once it whistles, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove it from the heat and wait for the pressure to release naturally.
Open the lid, remove the cinnamon stick and cloves, then chill the compote in the refrigerator before serving.
Never force the pressure cooker open. Wait for the steam to release through the valve on its own, or the hot compote may splatter.
Düdüklüde 15 dakika pişirin diyor ama benim kayısılarım daha sertti, 15 dakikanın sonunda hâlâ diriydi; bir 5 dakika daha kısık ateşte tutmam gerekti, yoksa kompostonun kıvamı istediğim gibi olmayacaktı.
