-Virginia Housewife,1831

"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 lay them on Dishes to cool;
boil the Syrup till 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." Source: Mrs. Mary Randolph's Virginia Housewife, 1831
