You takes your fruit that you have removed the pits from.you add sugar pour boiling water on it. When it is warm place s slice of bread on the top with brewers year on it cover it. Let it do it’s magic. Put it in a carboy. Warm dark space. If you can distill it after then..lovely. Bottle it then share.

I know how to dilute if needed. I was also thinking of building a solar still.

I will see if I have my old recipes but basically you make your wine I have always noticed that apricot tends to have a high alcohol content
