(general method for any cordial)
I don't have the recipe handy, but here are the basics.
- Peel and slice the peaches.
- Cook them on the stove top with sugar (amount depends on the peaches sweetness) This eliminates the need to add sugar syrup later.
- Put peach mixture into a mason jar and cover with either vodka, white rum or white brandy (other liquors can be tried, these are my favorites)
- Add spices, I use cinnamon and clove and sometimes a vanilla bean.
- Put in a cupboard and shake every day for a month.
- Strain, and taste. It will be rough at this point. Put up as long as you can stand it. After a year (if it lasts that long, I make about 32 quarts at a time, so I have some last the whole year) it will be smooth as silk.
