Makes about 1½ quarts (6 cups)

Apricots, fresh: 2 lb

Wash and pit the apricots. Crush slightly.

Place the fruit in an airtight glass jar with sugar, cinnamon and vodka.

After three weeks, strain through filter paper into a dark-colored bottle. Cap and allow the strained liqueur to mature for 7 months before serving.
