The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
1 package (7 ounce size) dried large apricots
1/4 cup apricot brandy
4 ounces marzipan
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
directions
NOTE: Dried apricots are filled with a small piece of marzipan and dipped into chocolate. The taste of these confections is particularly influenced by the quality of the ingredients, especially the chocolate. Use fine European chocolate for the dipping.
Place the apricots in a glass dish and cover with the brandy. Place in a microwave and warm gently under a low temperature (such as the defrost setting).
Keep it warm for about 20 minutes so that the apricots soften and become pliable. Fill each half with a small ball of marzipan and wrap and squeeze the apricot around the filling. It will look like an apricot taco. Dip the filling and the edges of the apricot into chocolate and let set.
When it is done the filling and the edges of the apricot will be completely sealed in chocolate and there will be a small backbone of apricot showing. It will keep in an airtight container for about a week.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
