Brandied Apricot Butter

When I pulled up recipe I saw 5 star rating but must have been for the magazine or something because this was inedible. Not sure what I did wrong but it tastes terrible! Maybe more sugar or I used wrong type of apricot. I bought turkish dried apricots, soaked in cognac, did the flambe and use high quality butter but it just had an off taste was sort of gummy instead of buttery and not much flavor really but the alcohol aftertaste reminded us of a bad hangover and vomit. Sorry.
