Peach Brandy Recipe

By Ben on 1/08/2006 02:33:00 PM
I bought an old Pennsylvania Dutch Recipe book about 4 years ago and found this recipe for a peach brandy.  The recipe will make 1 quart and looks like you should make it in August.
 
Pits and skins from 20 peaches
 
1 cup sugar
 
2 cups hot water
 
Fill a quart jar with pits and skins (make sure that you wash the peaches before peeling).  Make a medium sugar syrup.  Pour boiling sugar syrup over peach skins and pits to within 1 inch from the top.  Seal.  Bury 8 inches underground until Christmas.  If possible put hay in the hole and around the jar.  Strain and serve.

    Personally, I haven't tried it. A wine making buddy has and he had mixed results. Might want to try adding a little peach juice to help with the fermentation.

    The recipe I have is the same as this one, except it uses the peaches themselves instead of the skins and pits. And you eat the peaches also.

    Should the peaches be blanched before peeling or would this effect the final product?
