PEACH CORDIAL

Peach Cordial image

Now that peach season is here, make some of this delicious cordial to save for when the cooler temps come along. This will also make great gifts. After straining off the cordial itself, do not dump the peaches. Pick out the flavoring spices and run through a food mill or blender and serve over ice cream. Please note that the cooking time is the time it takes for the peaches to flavor the vodka.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 lbs fresh ripe peaches
2 cups granulated sugar
2 whole cinnamon sticks
3 slices lemon peel, 1 inch wide from top to bottom (yellow part only)
6 whole cloves
6 cups vodka

Steps:

In a gallon glass mayonnaise jar, or other type of crock that can be sealed completely, mix all the ingredients and seal with electrical or duct tape so no aid can get in or liquid can evaporate. Shake gently twice a day until the sugar is dissolved (generally takes 2-3 days) then about every other day so that the mixture is evenly flavored. Now the hard part -- Let sit, for 2 months. Then strain through 4 layers of cheesecloth in a colander. After sediment has settled, siphon off the clear cordial mixture and decant. This is really smooth and friends are still asking if I have the recipe. I hope that you enjoy it.

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Butter and flour six 1-cup fluted individual tube pans or eight 3 1/4-inch muffin cups. Set aside. In a 1-cup glass measuring cup combine peach nectar and rum; set aside. 2. In a large mixing bowl beat 1/2 cup of the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of the granulated sugar; beat 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the almond extract and the vanilla. Sift the flour, baking powder, kosher salt and baking soda into the batter. Beat just until combined. Add 1/2 cup of the rum mixture and the boiling water. Stir by hand until the liquids are incorporated. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans. 3. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes for the fluted individual tube pans or 18 to 20 minutes for the 3 1/4-inch muffin cups or until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. 4. Meanwhile, for syrup, in a small saucepan combine 1/4 cup of the remaining rum mixture with the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup softened butter.

For glaze, in a medium mixing bowl combine the remaining 1/4 cup peach mixture, the powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Stir briskly to combine. Drizzle over cakes.

Tips for Making Peach Cordial

Choose ripe, flavorful peaches. The better the peaches, the better the cordial will be.
Use organic peaches if possible. This will help to avoid any pesticides or herbicides that may be present on the fruit.
Wash the peaches thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any dirt or bacteria.
Pit the peaches and remove the skins. This can be done with a paring knife or a peach pitter.
Slice the peaches into thin slices. This will help them to cook evenly.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot to make the cordial. This will help to prevent the mixture from burning.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Strain the cordial through a fine-mesh sieve. This will remove any solids.
Allow the cordial to cool completely before bottling it. This will help to prevent the cordial from spoiling.
