Ingredients

2 cups apricots smashed pits
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander ground
2 cups vodka 100 proof
1 cup sugar syrup (see recipe)

Directions

Partly fill a cloth bag with the apricot pits (available at most health food stores). Smash with a hammer, keeping shells and meaty centers. Place smashed pits in a 1-quart container. Add cinnamon, corriander, and vodka.

Store for 2 months in a cool dark place. Then filter through a cheesecloth lined strainer and discard fruit pits. Strain a few times until clear.

Add sugar syrup and age for an additional 2 weeks.

Recipe may require some finetuning and apricot extract can be added to offer additional flavoring.

Wonderful result. I have a very fuitful apricot tree and how fun to find a use for the pits. Taster's were delighted. However, there is no flavor of apricot but almond. Hardest part is crushing the seeds.

French Chocolate Loaf Cake

It is delicious. Prep time is about an hour, but I am hardly Martha Stewart. It is rich, rich, rich. A little goes a long way. I am makinga couple for gifts. I know they will be a hit. My fiancee remembered this from a dinner party 10 years ago. I didn't have the heart not to at least try it for his 50th birthday. It's worth the trouble!!!
