Now this is my kind of recipe! I bet a few sips of that brandy really takes the chill out of your bones! And the soaked apricots must be heavenly!

Goodness my beloved would be in deep conversation with you right now..for he too seems to just enamored with doing just that...

Sounds good to me!

Making liqueurs from our garden harvests is one of our traditions, but your idea of using the plump and perked up alcohol infused apricots dipped in chocolate is GREAT!

Have you ever made limoncello or loquatcello? Fabulous.

Oh Martha, what a great idea. I like this idea for Valentine's also. Do you have to do anything special, before you dip the apricots in chocolate?
I have missed reading your blog. It is wonderful as always.

Blessings in 2010!

I'm imagining how great this must be. We do blackberry, limoncello and orange. I never had thought to try apricot. Have a great day, Martha.

Martha.....This looks good I always have those Turkish dried apricots on hand and Vodka is always stocked at my home so I guess I know what my new project will be. Plus I've never had Apricot Brandy before. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Sounds wonderful and easy. Do you start making it in the summer so it's ready for the Christmas season?

In the summmer I made the rubarb liqueur I found in a Foody Friday blog. It was very succesful. Maybe I will try this one for the next holiday season.
The rubarb liqueur got a bit cloudy and I had to strain it. How long will this liqueur keep do you think?

OOOH thank you. I really want to make this liqu...

I think The Great Dane will be making this one day soon - we have a big bag of dried apricots. Thanks for posting this great idea!

I love this! I have never tried apricot brandy. I've done vanilla brandy (and vanilla sugar), though. I wish I lived nearby so I could take your cooking class.

Hi, Martha! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Although I've had one for a while, I haven't been actively updating it with new posts. I plan to try and spend more time on it this year, but we'll see. That apricot brandy sounds yummy!

Martha-My husband has a couple of good apricot brandy stories from his younger duck hunting days! Fortunately he drinks his liquers after dinner and INSIDE now :) I am sure yours is much better than any bought version. Love those glasses!

Delores -- I take them out of the liqueur, let them dry a bit and then pat them with paper towels before I dip those same boozy apricots in the chocolate!

Thank you very much, Martha. Your homemade apricot liqueur looks very tempting on a cold winter night.

I love this idea! What a great idea for gift giving too. I'm just wondering do you dip the same apricots in chocolate? Can't wait to try this. --Delores

2010-01-07T19:32:31.840-06:00

Francie -- I've always done it with vodka -- so it's a clear liqueur. I'd give it a try -- at first do it with 1/4 of the recipe. If it doesn't work you didn't loose much (hate to have to throw out 1/2 gallon of brandy!). I would say that brandy would give it a depth that the vodka doesn't have and assume it would be okay -- but I do think I would test it first in smaller quantities.

It is good! And there is nothing like serving your own homemade liqueur after a dinner party!
