Homemade Aquavit

I would call this semi-homemade aquavit as I did not start with potatoes, but with a bottle of Vodka. I have been in an aquavit kick over the past year, enjoying it in small doses with appetizers or after dinner. With Spring finally showing its gorgeous face, I decided to make a more spring/summer flavored aquavit. I used a liter of vodka, 1/2 cup of dried prunes, 1/2 cup of dried apples, 2 star anise, about a teaspoon of cardamom pods and 1/2 cup of dried turkish figs. I've bottled it and am storing it in a cool, dark cupboard. Can't wait to try it in three weeks.
