It is known that if $E$ is a closed subset of an open Riemann surface $R$ and $f$ is a holomorphic function on a neighbourhood of $E$, then it is “usually” not possible to approximate $f$ uniformly by functions holomorphic on all of $R$. We show, however, that for every open Riemann surface $R$ and every closed subset $E\subset R$, there is closed subset $F\subset E$ that approximates $E$ extremely well, such that every function holomorphic on $F$ can be approximated much better than uniformly by functions holomorphic on $R$.
