The Waltons (part II)

Anyone who has ever watched The Waltons, is familiar with the Baldwin sisters and "the recipe."

An actual distillary, though not actually the Balwins' (as the next picture explains)

THE Recipe

What I did not know was that the Baldwin sisters were based on a real-life mother/daughter duo, who really did make moonshine that was renown in the area. From what I was told, distillers usually used apples (apple cider) and fermented that. These two ladies used apricots instead, making all the difference (apparently).
