combine apples, syrup, brandy, and fruit protector in clean 2-qt jar with screw-on lid (or divide
ingredients between two 1-qt jars). cover and let stand in a cool, dark place for one month. Do not
refrigerate.
use a fine-mesh strainer to strain out solids -- discard or save for another use (use in cake or
over ice cream). Filter liqueur into clean container(s). Cover and let stand for one day before
racking or filtering into final container(s). Age for one to three months before serving. Yield:
approx. one quart
*You can also substitute 1-1/2 lbs fresh apricots stemmed, washed, peeled, pitted, sliced thin; or
1-1/2 lbs fresh peaches or pears stemmed, washed, cut in quarters, pitted, and thinly sliced; or
substitute 1 lb fresh blackberries picked over, washed, crushed with a potato masher and let stand
with fruit protector for 2 hrs; or 1-1/2 lbs fresh red cherries stemmed, picked over, washed,
halved, pitted, mashed, mixed with fruit protector and let stand 2 hrs.
