List of Ingredients
1 cup firmly packed, dried apricots, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup apricot or peach brandy
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Recipe
Put the apricot pieces in a mixing bowl, bring the water to a boil, and pour over the apricots. Add the brandy and wine, cover with plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator to soak for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour or for as long as overnight.
Transfer the apricots and their soaking liquid to a nonreactive saucepan. Add the sugar and the cinnamon stick and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has a thick, jamlike consistency, about 45 minutes to an hour. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl or storage container, remove and discard the cinnamon stick, cover, and refrigerate.
