• Add coconut milk, tomatoes and apricots. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any brown bits from pan bottom to flavour sauce.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often, then reduce heat to medium. Gently boil, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Sauce should not boil rapidly, so you may have to reduce heat. Sauce will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
• Defrost in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave, then reheat. Or place in a saucepan with a little water to prevent burning and stir often over medium-low heat until hot. Add cooked or raw chicken pieces, meat, seafood or vegetables. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring often.
