- Here is another homemade liqueur to add to our collection, the Amaretto!
The fun thing is that it is accomplished with what we usually throw, watch the video and tell me if I'm not right ; ) - Навчання та стиль
So I followed the recipe, I ended up using apricot stones and almonds instead since we have a lot of those here in California, for the alcohol I used neutral grain alcohol and dark Mexican sugar for the syrup. I opened the bottle yesterday after 3 months and it came out REALLY good, it's pretty strong though!
👍 well done 😉
Im doing mine with almond, apricot and peach and nectarine stones and cherry seeds. Hope it works out as well as yours. Nice job
Let us know 😉
hi! how many almond and apricots did you use in total?
I ended up using 50/50 almond and apricot in a regular wide mouth Mason jar. You may need to use a bigger glass container. And if I forgot to mention it I roasted all the seeds in a toaster oven and let them cool for an hour before adding the alcohol.
Excellent idea to use apricots or peach seed as a bitter almond substitute! I got to try this recipe. I love the taste of Amaretto!
👍🏼 let us know when you taste it 😉
I love your "homemade" style~~XDD Thank your for sharing the recipe!
: )
Sir, Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the great idea. I repeated the recipe with some additions and filtering. The result is excellent. Now I can make quality liquor at home. I hope to get closer to the Gozio Amaretto brand in the future :)
Keep us updated 😉🥃
Molto grazie! Ho provato le sue ricette e le adoro.
Grazie tante 😊
Thanks for the verry Nice and intresant video's

Welcome ☺️ thanks for sharing the video with your friends and family 👍🏼
The most simple method and may well be the best.
Thanks 😊 please share the video 😉
Thank you. Fridge or freezer for the last week?
Up to you 😉 this one I like it at room temperature 😋
Thanks will be trying this recipe ❤
Keep us updated 👍🏼
I like the recipe. Am just wondering. Did you dry the pits before putting them in the alcohol? If so how long?
Yes but only few days. The firsts longer the lasts less
cuoredicioccolato Thanks 😊
I've been looking for a true Amaretto recipe like this one. Did you use all almonds? What other seeds did you use? I read on the DiSaronno site that Amaretto is made from almonds, but DiSaronno Originale is actually made from apricot kernals (and other secret herbs and spices of course). I never knew that they were two different things- Amaretto- made from almonds- DiSaronno- made from apricot kernals.
In this video I use both 😉
Have you ever made a hazelnut liqueur? For the amaretto, how much each for the almonds and the apricot seeds?
No sorry 😭
For the almonds and apricot seeds, not rules, up to you
I would like also to make Amaretto, but it is a bit difficult to obtain seeds of peaches, etc. Can I use raw imported almonds instead? I don't find them to be bitter. However we have local almond trees which have a little bitter seeds which grow in the wild. Can I use Dr Oetker Natural Madagascan Vanilla Extract? I thank you for your help from Malta.
Better local bitter almond 👍🏼
Ok 👌🏼 for the vanilla extract
Let us know when you taste it 😉
Hi again thank you for your reply. I managed to collect bitter almonds which grow in the wild in Malta. Are they better from the sweet ones which are imported from California?
Yes 👍🏼 best choice
For a deeper, darker brown color, could we Caramelize more than one tablespoon of the sugar, or will that overpower the flavor?
Yes, it will overpower the flavour.
there's always carmel food colouring extensively used in... spirits industry.
Yes, but not for the homemade 😉
Could I Roast unsalted Almonds in a pan or oven to open up the flavors and use those?
Yes 👍🏼
How many prune and apricot seeds do I mix in with the almond seeds?
Check the grams in the recipe 🤔 probably 200 grams
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE!!!😃👍🏻🍾🧉
🥳 thanks for watching and sharing the video 🤪
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato YES 100% 😃👍🏻
🥳😘🤗
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato God Bless you hi from the (209) Modesto CA.😃👋🏻 I will continue to watch more of your videos.SUPER INTERESTING!!!.
😎 thanks
Is it possible to use only almonds for amaretto liqueur and still get the marzipan taste?
It will be less strong but you can do it
Great video!
For your experience, if 96% is not available, what do you recommend: Rum, Vodka, Brandy or other?
Vodka but you should put the double of it 😉
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato
It came out perfect with Vodka!
By the way, I added also home made licorice syrup to reduce sugar.
👍😋 thanks for the comment
Use 190 proof grain alcohol. It's 95% alcohol and should work just fine. It's what I use to make limoncello.
👍 good idea 😉
if I doubled the amount of Vodka, should I put half of the amount of Sugar and Water ? or what should I do with the other ingredients ?
Double the vodka and keep the same amount for the other ingredients 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Grazie Andrea you are the best !
😂👍🏼 welcome 😉
What liquid in glass container in which u have added seeds.
Spirit 95%
Can we use regular store bought almond for this?
Yes 👍🏼 but bitter ones are better
Thanks for sharing! 🤗🤗
Thanks for watching and sharing the video with friends and family 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato my pleasure!
😉👍🏼
In what proportion did you use the fruit pit? Thanks.
You can get it from the ingredients 😉
This is understandable, cap) But what is the proportion?
No body know, but why do you want to know?
Can i use store bought almonds? Becaus peaches and plums, apricots are not so common here.
Yes 👍🏼 you can it will be more sweet
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato i will keep that in mind. Thank you 😊
😉👍🏼
what is the tool you're using to break the pit but not the almond inside?
Schiaccianoci or nutcracker
But you can also just use a hammer
Yes 👍🏼 but you should be skillful
Thanks its almost like beer brewing (lagering) just simpler without the risk of contamination.
🤔
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Yeah, not sure if you know the beer making process but it can get contaminated by rogue bacteria very easily if you not careful which will spoil your beer. This however is much simpler and easier.
@@Mimeniia he does make beer but how is this anything like making beer lol
@@ivanravenski the hint is "lagering"
can i subsitute honey instead of sugar?
Yes 👍🏼
Can you use all Almonds in this?
Yes but you need bitter almonds 😉
No
Where do you get this alcohol?
At the supermarket
I was just woundering what would be the final alcohol % content ?
More or less 35%
cuoredicioccolato ah! so low, I was guessing about 42%.. haha.
😂 I think it is enough
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Using this formula [Alcohol Content x Liquor Volume / Total Drink Volume x 100 = % Alcohol by Volume], I think this amaretto: 300ml alc 96% + 300ml water = 48% final. Am I right?
+ the sugar 😉
This goes well with home made alcohol (not industrial) to avoid headache.
Much respect for this mister.
😂👍🏼 thanks
Nice kitchen
Thanks ☺️
Some fresh fruits, including cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines and apricots have pits that contains cyanide compounds, which are poisonous. If a couple pits are accidentally swallowed, it will not cause poisoning. The pits are more poisonous if they are ground up/crushed or the seeds are chewed.
Thanks for the information 👍🏼
Is it ok to make this with vodka
Regards
Robert
Yes 👍🏼 but double the quantity that I gave for the alcohol
Grazie Millie
Prego 😊
can you make Guiness damson liquer....?
Probably you need a distillation process
What kind of alcohol did you use? Vodka? Gin?
Alcohol at 95%
Vodka and Gin have 40% of alcohol .
That is extremely strong. And I'm guessing in the States, not readily available in most places where alcohol is sold. We call what your talking about "Moonshine" and mostly that's homemade in your southern cousin's backyard. lol
😂 in Italy , you can find it in the supermarket.
The Moonshine here is illegal too.
Kay B I did some research online I think everclear alcohol would work but I have not gone to the liquor store yet to see if they carry that, I'm here in N.Y. and I hope they carry it I want to try all these recipes
You can make some martipan from apricot seeds i eat from one belgian friend this type of martipan and it was sooooo good 👍
Spectacular idea 👍🏼 thanks
on the list
😉👍🏼
could you use less almonds but grind them finer?
No sorry, same quantity 😉
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato thanks for answering. One more question: I can only get 76% alcohol here in Canada, how much should I use? 96/76 * 300 = 379mL?
www.uomodicasa.it/2020/12/27/calcolo-online-gradazione-alcolica/ 😉
OMG is it safe?. The seeds of plum apricot and even apple contain Cyanide.. I don't know what will happen after it reacts with 90 percentage alcohol..just a thought.. forgive me if I am wrong.. because I don't know much of chemistry.. only I know is that the pits contain Cyanide.. if eaten in large quantities can be a reason for death. Again let me tell you I don't know if there will be chemical changes after reacting with alcohol.. so I am not trying this but liked all of your other videos.
Don’t worry 😉 like you write you need a big quantity
Thanks for your support 👍🏼
Are you not concerned about amygdalin in the seeds of the peaches and other fruits you use. The amygdalin turns into cyanide when ingested. I am not sure if it is alcohol soluable but it may be worth looking into for safety.
No 😉
The LD50 (50% chance of death) for bitter almonds/peach seeds is 50 pieces. For children it is as low as 5. You'd probably have to drink the entire bottle of alcohol, that might just kill you without the almonds.
Exactly 👍🏼
Why did you choose Chocolate Heart for your name?
Because I am very sweet ☺️
hello mr from where i bring alcohol 96? its vodca?
Where do you live?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato im in lebanon
Vodka is only 40% in Italy we have this one
Alcool Etilico Puro 96% Vol. - 1L: amzn.to/3k5hQjb
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato i cant maket in vodca? No problem if alcohol low
Yes 👍🏼 you can
What is the final alcohol level?
40%
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato wow this is very high
😉👍🏼
Ciao Andrea. Ho sentito dire che i liquori commerciali all'amaretto non si fanno più con le mandorle amare, ma con i noccioli di albicocca. Sai perché?
Attualmente sto ordinando mandorle amare dall'Italia e se le uso al posto dei noccioli di albicocca, avrò un amaretto dal sapore migliore? Devo elaborare le mandorle amare come hai fatto tu con i noccioli di albicocca?
Credo lo facciano per risparmiare
Si segui la stessa ricetta 😉 verrà buonissimo
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Grazie per la tua risposta.
Ho anche sentito dire che i liquori all'amaretto commerciali hanno ingredienti più complessi (con l'aggiunta di erbe e spezie). Ho trovato alcune ricette che aggiungono alla miscela cannella, chiodi di garofano, bayberry, anice stellato e vaniglia. Cosa ne pensi? È necessario o può essere omesso?
Prova prima questa classica 😉 e poi facci sapere
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Ok, ti farò sapere dopo aver provato quello classico. Grazie mille.
😉👍🏼
Don’t peach seeds have cyanide?
Not enough to have problems 😉
Who this alcohol use it ?
We drink it after a meal.
Hay my friend did you get proof mixed up with%in this video vodka is only 40% or 80 proof unless you're making raw vodka witch comes off the still at 60% if re-distilled. Comes off at 89% after that you need micro sives they pull in water but the alcohol molecules are to big to be absorbed leaving 100% or 200 proof
In several countries Everclear and other 96% alcohol is available for purchase. Not here in Australia though lol
Sorry 😬
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato all good my friend
@@MrGoatflakes we can now get everclear and grain alcohol…..try Harris organic wine, they sell both wine and grain spirit. We used to be able to buy kings grain but no longer. Both kings and Harris is very expensive though, $40 for 200ml
I make my own now…..the set up wasn’t cheap but it only took 2 distillations to begin to save money
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the information 👍🏼
can you make a proper Italian Martini? My mom asks for this.
You or your mom 🤔 ?
Wat is 300 ml of alcohol means
Like I show in the video 🤔 what do you mean?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato I did not understand my the word alcohol
It's sort rum,whisky or
Yes in the USA is named everclear
Like rum or whiskey but 96% of alcohol
It is intersting that people everywhere use poisonous things (not only the alcohol).
There will be some cyanide content in that liqueur.
I make cordial (alcohol content = zero % ) of meadowsweet.
I can taste the "bitter almond" flavour in that cordial.
Don’t worry the amount of cyanide is very small
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Thank you. I can't say I am worried (that flavour is partly why I like the cordial so much), I only find it interesting that we as a species love toxins so much. And that we also love and crave many chemicals that plants use to protect themselves from being eaten: capsaicin, mustard oil... (That protection does not work against humans.)
Yes 👍🏼 very strange 😂
👍💯🆒👌👏
🥳👍🏼🤩 thanks again
You can buy it at Tesco for a fiver.
😲
Lucky you
No
Ok. This one I have to stop you on. Peach. Plum, and apricot seeds contain a substance that mixes with stomach acid producing cyanide in the stomach. Does the cooking or alcohol stop this reaction? At this point I haven’t seen the entire video yet. Just wanted to put this out there before my alcohol riddled brain forgets.
Don’t worry they contain very small quantity 😉👍🏼
Normally the Amaretto is between 25-28% alcohol. But this recipe is 40% percentage. It's simply too strong for most people. I would suggest 1000ml alcohol with 500 gram almond seeds, 1,6 liter water and 800 grams of sugar.
Yes 👍🏼 but homemade is always stronger 😉
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Yes true.
Hay amico have you ever tried to use heat cycling to extract the flavors of the bitter almonds if you do it enough you don't have to do that 30 days 1and a 1/2 to 2 days do it at least 6-8 times use a kettle not to hot water the malicious of alcohol will speed up in the liquid causing them to bump into the almond peaces at i microscopic level and pull oils and flavor at a higher rate remember you don't want to cook of the alcohol you need more science in being a noble man my friend
No offence just give a helping hand if needed
Thanks for sharing your experience and advice 👍🏼
Can you explain this proces in more detail?
If only the whole world went back to consuming the seeds of fruit again, the long lived hunza people of India ate seeds to fend off cancer and other currently unresolved health problems.
👍
You know that you can die from it right? And many people have. You should only eat a small amount.
Don’t worry 😉 drink with moderation
Don’t Apple seeds have arsenic? Yeah don’t use those
It is ok don't worry
They have cyanide
👍🤩
It's cyanide. In the form of amygdalin. Sugar and cyanide together that is separated by acid in your stomach. And all seeds do. Apple and stone fruit especially. In fact that is the exact flavour of amaretto, together with benzaldehyde.
Yes it can kill you if you eat too much, like a quarter kilo at once. Yes your body has a special enzyme to neutralise it, only after eating to much will you be poisoned. Same as alcohol. In fact drinking way too much of this you'd likely die from alcohol first.
Drink it with moderation
Can’t understand this man
Sorry 😭
I understand. And i am from Brazil.
Thanks 😀
I feel sorry for you, Andrea is amazing!
I wait each time for the arm swing, soooo good he can’t wait to tell us! Then….spectaculous!
Thanks for your support ☺️
