  Amaretto Liqueur

Ingredients:
1 cup Granulated sugar
3/4 cup Water
2 Dried apricot halves
1 tbsp Almond extract
1/2 cup Pure grain alcohol and
1/2 cup Water
1 cup Brandy
3 drop Yellow food coloring
6 drop Red food coloring
2 drop Blue food coloring
1/2 tsp Glycerin
Instructions:
Combine sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until all sugar is
dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.

In an aging container, combine apricot halves, almond extract, grain
alcohol with 1/2 cup water, and brandy. Stir in cooled sugar syrup
mixture. Cap and let age for 2 days. Remove apricot halves. (Save
apricot halves, as they may be used for cooking). Add food coloring
and glycerin. Stir, recap and continue aging for 1 to 2 months.

Re-bottle as desired. Liqueur is ready to serve but will continue to
improve with additional aging.

Variation: For a more prominent 'bitter almond' flavor, add 4 apricot
nuts,** split in half, to basic mixture. Leave in for 2 days to 2
weeks depending upon depth of flavor desired. Remove and discard
apricot nuts. Continue as directed.

**Note: Apricot 'nuts' come from within the apricot pit. You may
split pits yourself or obtain them dried at a health food store.
