Just came back from visiting a family friend who's been doing this stuff since he left the old country...
In discussion with him about homebrewing, he brought out a nice clear bottle that had a lovely amber colour to the likker inside. I asked him how he got the nice color to it, and he let me in on an old secret.
When the plum and apricot season comes, collect the pits of said fruit 40 in total, and let them dry out in the sun for a few days...then find a container that they, along with 2 liters of clear will fill up. Put it away for 40 days... pull it out,
filter with coffee filters... then add some simple syrup mix (how ever sweet you desire...),,,, nice taste to it...and awesome tan/amber colour.
