Luscious Hungarian Apricot

Apricot growing has a long history in Hungary: the Carpathian Basin is the tertiary gene centre for this fruit. Islands of apricot cultivation have been created since the seventeenth century on the basis of the systematic propagation of individual varieties. In the nineteenth century, the apricot became the dominant fruit variety in some growing areas. The apricot cultivated around Kecskemét has managed to conquer export markets due to the many uses to which it can be put and its characteristic flavour and aromatic qualities. Apricot pálinka (also known as 'fütyülős' or 'whistling' pálinka because of its ability to make the unwary imbiber catch his breath) has also become a much sought-after Hungarian product and is notable also for the distinctive design of its bottles.
