Put the clean but unwashed fruit in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over. Press gently with the back of a wooden spoon until the juice begins to run. Pour over the alcohol and add the almonds/ apricot kernels. Put this into a wide-necked jar and cover / seal the top. For the first week or so, shake and turn the jar daily. After about a month, strain the fruit from the liquid and filter the liquid through a double muslin / coffee filter until it is clear. Store in a sealed bottle in a dark place.
