Ingredients
Method
Place the apricots and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the fruit is very soft. Add the maple syrup and salt, then purée using a food processor or hand blender. Add as much water as needed to create a more liquid texture. Leave to cool. Transfer to a flexible container that can be used during workouts and competitions.
