Apricot Brandy

Mix half a pound of sugar and a little water with every two dozen apricots used; boil up and then remove and place in jars, and when cold, fill them up with brandy. Cover over securely and allow them to remain for several days, when they are ready for use. They may be carefully and thinly peeled before putting into the syrup, although this is not generally done.
