"Take freshly gathered Apricots not too ripe; to Half their Weight of loaf Sugar, add as much Water as will cover the Fruit; boil and skim it: then put in the Apricots, and let them remain five or six Minutes; take them up without Syrup, and ;ay them on Dishes to cool; boil the Syrup until reduced one Half; when the Apricots are cold, put them in Bottles, and cover them with equal Quantities of syrup and French Brandy. If the Apricots be clingstone, they will require more scalding."
