Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 7 cups apricots, coarsely chopped, pits reserved
- 5 cups sugar
- 1 lemon, cut in slices
- 5 to 7 black peppercorns
- 1 to 2 cardamom pods, cracked
- 2 to 3 cloves
- 1/2 stick cinnamon
- 1/4 cup bourbon
Instructions
- In a large, heavy, nonreactive pot, mix the fruit and sugar, and let stand to macerate at least 20 minutes, up to 24 hours.
- With a nutcracker or a hammer, crack open several of the reserved pits and remove the kernel from within. On a square of cheesecloth (approximately 6-inch square), place the noyaux and spices, and tie up the corners tightly to form a sachet.
- Place the macerated fruit over medium heat until all the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemons and the sachet. Raise the heat to high, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

- Pour into sterilized jars and process via the standard water-bath canning method.
