Slice apricots in half and lay face up on baking sheet, lightly sprinkle 1 tsp sugar evenly over apricot halves.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Thoroughly clean large glass jar and set up food processor with sieve next to it.
Place apricots in food processor and pulse.
Place sieve over large bowl or mouth of glass jar. Press blended apricot puree through sieve, removing any solids. Discard solid pieces or reserve for a different use.
