Directions

  1. Let it caramelize in a pot until it reaches a caramel color.
  2. Moisten it with water. ≈ 3 min
  3. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange zest, then simmer until the caramel is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and discard the cloves and cinnamon. ≈ 3 min
  5. Let the spice mixture cool.
  6. In the meantime, arrange the apricots in the sterilized jars. ≈ 3 min
  7. Add the brandy to the nuts and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  8. Fill the glasses with juice until it slightly overflows the cherries, then close them tightly. ≈ 10 min
  9. Allow the dried fruits to marinate for at least two weeks, and replenish them regularly with water or rum, if desired, until they are full (Apricots tend to absorb a lot of liquid at the beginning, so it’s important to replenish them periodically).
