Peach Brandy
1-1/2 cups of peeled, pitted, sliced peaches
1 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 strips lemon peel
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cups of brandy
Place peaches in a sugared bowl. Crush peaches slightly, blend, pour into saucepan, heat over low heat until sugar dissolved and peaches juicy. Pour back into bowl. Stir in cloves, cinnamon and brandy. Cover loosely with saran wrap at room temperature from 4-7 days, stirring occasionally (once a day).
Strain into a crock or bottle, age for one month or more, then strain again into gift bottles. Serve or age another month.
