Peach Liqueur 3 Ingredients: 12 md Peaches 4 Lemon peel strips, scraped 1 Cinnamon stick 3 c Vodka 1 c Sugar syrup Instructions: You want yellow or cream-colored peaches. Season is May to Sept. Avoid green ones as they won't ripen at home. Peel peaches and cut in quarters. Combine with vodka, lemon peels, and spices in covered jar and store for 1-2 weeks, shaking occasionally. Strain fruit, squeezing as much juice as possible, and filter. Add sugar syrup and store for an additional 6 weeks. Slice peaches in half and twist halves opposite each other to separate and remove the pit and set it aside. (Do not discard.) Thinly slice the peaches. Place peaches, peach pit, lemon zest, and orange zest into a clean 2-quart glass canning jar. Add the cooled sugar syrup, vodka, brandy, and food coloring. Seal with an airtight lid. Turn jar top to bottom in one full revolution to gently mix. Place in a cool, dark place for two weeks. Strain out solids through a fine mesh sieve. Pour peach liqueur into a clean jar, seal, and let stand another 2 to 3 weeks in a cool, dark place. Strain a final time through a double layer of cheesecloth or other filter into a decanter or decorative sealable bottle. |
