Apricot Orange Syrup with Amaretto Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Apricot Orange Syrup with Amaretto Recipe). My parents have an apricot tree, so I've eaten fresh apricots all my life. I'm used to eating them fresh only, but I recently purchased some apricots that ripened very quickly. I wanted to make a jam or syrup out of them and couldn't find what I wanted, so I made something up. The result is a very sweet, thick syrup. Leave out the amaretto if you don't use it in cooking.
