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.
