Recipe
Preparation
Half a kilogram of dried apricots is washed and drained. The apricots are then sautéed in 200 grams of melted butter. One cup of water and one cup of sugar are added, and the mixture is cooked until the apricots soften.
Çirleme, traditionally prepared in winter and therefore made using dried apricots, is served hot and may optionally be enjoyed with cooked flatbread (yufka).
