Here's a recipe I found for apricot brandy. You know why I've gone looking and WHY I'm placing it here without my having to place spoilers, I'm sure!
Ingredients
12 fresh apricots, washed
600ml brandy
225g caster sugar
Method
1.Cut fruit into small pieces, reserving the stones. Crack open the stones to obtain the kernels and place in a jar with the fruit.
2.Add the brandy and sugar, making sure that all of the fruit is covered. Seal the jar and shake to dissolve the sugar.
3.Leave the jar in a dark place for one month, shaking it several times a week.
4.Strain off the fruit and eat separately if you so desire (nice warmed with ice-cream!).
5.Bottle the liqueur and store until required.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to!
