Dried Fruit Liqueur

Ingredients

1 pound dried fruit of choice (dried apricots and pineapple, dried
peaches, pears, prunes, cranberries or any other fruit)
1 bottle (750 ml) OR 3 1/3 cups dry white wine
1 cup brandy
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water

Instructions

Place dried fruit, wine and brandy in aging container. Stir gently. Cover and set aside. Combine sugar and water in small saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when sugar has dissolved. Let cool. Add cooled sugar mixture to dried fruit mixture, stirring to combine. Recover and place in a cool place for 1 month, stirring occasionally. After aging, strain off fruit by pouring mixture through a metal colander over a large bowl. Save fruit for serving as a dessert topping or mixing into fruitcake or pound cake (I've even chopped the fruit up for cookies). Re-strain liqueur through cloth to remove fine particles. Bottle as desired. This liqueur doesn't need much additional aging to taste really yummy.

I'm not sure exactly what an aging container is but this recipe sounds so delicious I'll google it and figure it out. I had no idea it was so easy to create your own liqueur and with ingredients, I almost always have on hand. The hardest part is trying to figure out which combination of fruit you decide to use for your creation...I can't wait to try this!
