ALTERNATIVES

Prepare jars, lids and boiling water bath.

Wash and dry the apricots, then prick each one several times. Combine the water, anisette and sugar in a pan and cook over a med-high heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils and the sugar is dissolved. Add the apricots and simmer for 3 mins.

Fill each hot dry jar with the fruit and two fennel springs, leaving ½ inch headspace. Pour hot liquid over the fruit until just covered. Wipe the rims with a clean towel and attach the lids securely.

Place the jars in boiling water bath, and when the water returns to boil, process for 25 mins.
