ingradeiant
- 5 cups fresh peaches, prepared
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 - 750 ml (26 oz)bottle vodka or brandy
preparation
Use only fully ripened, unblemished fruit. Wash and remove pits. Chop and mash fruit. Place in a plastic container or large glass bottle. Dissolve sugar in the vodka or brandy. Pour over the fruit. Cover and let sit for 4 to 6 months. Strain out the fruit and your fruit brandy is ready to drink!
NOTE:
Use the fruit as a dessert topping — on ice cream or shortcake, or as a filling for a black forrest cake.
I used a half-gallon jug to age my brandy. It has a lid, so excludes fruit flies. It does not ferment, so an airlock is unnecessary
