making moonshine

i'm not really making moonshine, but thats kinda what making peach brandy felt like. i've been awaiting summer peaches in hopes to make this recipe.  i've never had brandy,  so i'm not quite sure what to expect.



i found these cute jars being sold at a stand along the road. perfect for my project not to mention adorable.




5 cups of mashed/diced ripe peaches.




 

1 1/2 cup sugar


 
a bottle of brandy

the glass jar needs to sit for 4 to 6 months in a cool dark place. i planned on giving it a good shake every so often since the sugar may need help dissolving. looks yummy though doesn't it? i think i will wait exactly 5 months, so expect a report of my peach brandy on february 3rd 2010.

  2. That looks yummy just looking at it! Reminds me of a really good sangria, but with brandy :) You'll have to let me know what it is like.
