PEACH BRANDY

I usually make this brandy when peaches are at their best (June or July) and bottle it the last of November for Christmas gifts. Another plan ahead recipe.

Categories     Other Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 peaches, washed and unpeeled
2 1/2 lb sugar
1 fifth gin

Steps:

  • 1. Place peaches in a wide mouth gallon glass jar with a lid; pour in sugar and gin. Put top on top of jar.
  • 2. Every day for for swirl jar to help dissolve sugar. After about a week when all the sugar has dissolved, add more gin to cover peaches (peaches will shrink).
  • 3. Store in a secure place (I use the bottom of my linen closet). Taste after two months; you may add more sugar or gin to taste.
  • 4. When ready to bottle, remove peaches (they are great on ice cream or pound cake). Strain liquid through several layers of cheese cloth so that it will be beautifully clear. Bottle and enjoy. Makes 3/4 gallon.

This recipe appeared in an article in The Times by Jane Nickerson. Updated canning instructions were added by Eugenia Bone. You will need two pint-size wide-mouthed Ball or Kerr jars with bands and new lids, available at many hardware stores or at freundcontainer.com.

Categories     project, dessert

Time 7h

Yield Makes 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 pounds ripe peaches
3 cups sugar
About 1/2 cup brandy

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using the tip of a paring knife, make a shallow "X" in the bottom of each peach. Add the peaches, one at a time, to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove the peach from the water and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Repeat with the remaining peaches. Peel off the skins, then pit the fruit and quarter the flesh.
  • In another large pot, combine 3 cups water and the sugar and bring to a boil. Add the peaches and simmer until just soft.
  • Have the jars, bands and new lids scalded and ready. (To scald, dip the jars and rims in boiling water. You don't need to sterilize the jars, as you will be processing them for more than 10 minutes.) Simmer the lids in hot water to soften the rubberized flange. Gently pack the peaches into the jars.
  • Boil the leftover syrup until it thickens slightly, then spoon it over the fruit, filling the jars ¾ full. Use a butter knife to release any air bubbles caught in the jars. Pour in enough brandy to fill the jars, leaving ¼ inch of headroom. Wipe the rims, cover with the lids and screw on the bands fingertip-tight. Place the jars on a rack in a big pot and cover with 2 to 3 inches of water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium and gently boil for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and then, after about 5 minutes, remove the jars. Allow them to cool, untouched, for 4 to 6 hours. Check the seals and store in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful peaches for the best results. Avoid peaches that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Wash the peaches thoroughly before using them. You can peel the peaches if you prefer, but it is not necessary.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the peaches. This will help to prevent the peaches from becoming bruised.
  • Add the sugar to the peaches and let them sit for at least 30 minutes before proceeding with the recipe. This will help to draw out the juices from the peaches.
  • Use a clean glass jar or container for storing the peach brandy. Make sure the jar or container has a tight-fitting lid.
  • Store the peach brandy in a cool, dark place for at least 6 weeks before drinking. This will allow the flavors to develop.
