2 c  Smashed apricot pits
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground coriander
2 c  Vodka 100 proof
1 c  Sugar syrup (see recipe)

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.
